Trade forex and CFD products with an ASIC-regulated trading platform that doesn't hold a B-Book.
Global Prime is a CFD and forex broker that is built for traders who are looking to trade like institutional investors.
Whether it's low fees, trade receipts or advanced charting, Global Prime has you covered. Unlike most of its competition, it doesn't run as a market maker (B-Book), meaning Global Prime doesn't bet against your trade.
Another key feature of Global Prime is its "discord" trading community, which can help you improve your trading by asking questions to the broker right through to learning from other traders.
On the downside, it doesn't have as many options as some of its competitors. You will also need a larger initial deposit to get started.
Global Prime is a desktop and mobile trading app that allows you to trade forex and CFDs through an ECN model. This means that the broker does not run a B-Book or make money by going against your trades.
The broker also offers tight spreads and fast trade executions on more than 40 currency pairs, cryptocurrencies, commodities, indices and individual stocks as CFDs.

The broker also offers some protections for traders including leverage limits and negative balance protections. In Australia, ASIC has negative balance protections so this feature shouldn't matter as much to Australian traders.
However, the products that Global Prime themselves are risky. Trading CFDs and forex comes with a lot of risk. In fact, ASIC has said in the past that up to 80% of traders lose money. The stats do vary though depending on the research but it's agreed between 60% and 90% of traders lose when trading CFDs.
