First steps ... Finding a broker

[Jackwilson29]

Hi guys,

New to trading, I've been trading on virtual websites for just over 2 months now and want to take a dive into using my own money.

Just wondering if anyone can answer a few quick questions.

The best online service to buy shares?

I'm looking to invest £500-£3000, short term trades, so the lower the commission the better.

Thanks

Depends if you want leverage or not.

Look at Accendo Markets, IG Markets, TD. If you use CFDs, for example, you won’t pay stamp duty. This will add up for you if you’re trading short term.
