Equities Trading with Commodity Broking Services

Trading Stocks online with CBS is simple and convenient with over 11,000 equities from over 29 of the world's major stock exchanges accessible through CBS's trading platforms. Investors can trade Stocks online from the US markets to exchanges in Europe, Asia and Australia directly from a single account. Also available are Contracts for Difference (CFD trading), which are much like trading Stocks on leverage, with the added ability of short selling.

Using Stock positions as collateral

CBS allows individuals to reuse up to 50% of their Stock investments as collateral for margin-based trading. For example, if a trader has Stocks with a value of AUD 10,000, they can use AUD 5,000 of this collateral for trading Forex, Futures and even CFDs. The re-use of collateral depends on the risk rating of the Stock.
