A report has found that the number of contract for difference (CFD) traders doubled over the year to April 2007 as providers seek to adjust their services and understand the needs of their clients. The Investment Trends report found that 32 per cent of traders had already switched providers, with 79 per cent saying that low transaction fees were important and 75 per cent wanting direct access to ASX prices. The market is dominated by CMC Markets and IG Markets, but smaller players such as E*Trade, CommSec and Macquarie are fighting for their share. E*Trade recently cut its commission rate from $12.50 to $11.95 for standard traders and $10 through its professional option. IG Markets managing director Harley Salt said that it is becoming easier for investors to use CFD's who are familiar with the services of traditional online brokers.
