Which trading platform is best for investing in JSE shares ?

Finding the right JSE trading platform for YOUR NEEDS is hard.

Did you know that costs between platform can vary consirably? For a R5'000 trade, you can be paying up to 4% in fees! Your investment would have to recoup that 4% loss before you are in-the-money.

But comparing costs between all the different platforms is hard. And dull. Each platform's terms & conditions needs to be interpreted and taken into account. There are flat, tiered and sliding scale fees. Some charge depending on the size of your portfolio. Others based on your trading amount. Some apply hefty minimum fees. Others do not. I have gone through all of these fee disclosures. For each platform. And brought them all together in this simple, easy interactive guide.
