1. What Trading Guide does
Trading Guide is an information and comparison publisher. We publish research, educational content, and information about share trading platforms, online brokers, and cryptocurrency exchanges available to Australians. We do not execute trades, hold customer money, operate trading accounts, or issue financial products.
2. Information, not personal advice
Our content is prepared for a general audience and does not take into account your personal objectives, financial situation, or needs. You are responsible for deciding whether a product or service is appropriate for you and for checking current provider information before acting. Consider seeking independent financial, legal, or tax advice where appropriate.
Investing and trading involve risk. Investment values can rise or fall and you may lose some or all of the money invested. The nature and degree of risk varies between products, and crypto, leveraged, or derivative products may involve particularly significant risks.
3. Comparisons and provider information
We aim to keep fees, features, and other provider information useful and current, but providers can change their products, pricing, eligibility requirements, and terms. We do not promise that every item on the Site will always be complete, current, or error-free. Check important information directly with the provider before opening an account or making a transaction.
You can read more about how we research and compare providers in our comparison methodology.
4. Links, partners and how we get paid
Some links on Trading Guide take you to third-party websites. Trading Guide is currently self-funded and does not receive affiliate or referral commissions from providers featured on the site. If we activate affiliate or referral relationships in future, relevant links will be clearly disclosed and we may receive compensation when a user takes an eligible action. Commercial relationships do not change the methodology we say we use for our editorial content.
See our Affiliate Disclosure and How We Get Paid for more information.
5. Third-party services
If you leave Trading Guide and use a broker, exchange, or other provider, your relationship is with that provider and its own terms, privacy policy, fees, eligibility rules, and service conditions apply. Trading Guide does not control the provider's service, account decisions, transactions, availability, or customer support.
