    The main platform people use is MetaTrader 4. There is another one called cTrader which is less common but is more user friendly.

    Pepperstone is one of the few Australian brokers that offer both of those platforms to trade on.

    Global Prime is one of the smaller brokers around but there are some interesting things that you may be interested in since you are using them.

    They are owned by Gleneagle Securities and one of their directors is Lance Rosenberg who was the former head of Tricom when their debt trouble occured.
    Gleneagle Securities used to be located at the same address as Claymore Capital. Anton Rosenberg is the director of that company which was under administration for a time in 2015.

    Not using them anymore,
    But tbh I only ever traded a tiny account, so if they went bellow up no biggie. Customer support were always great, fast and easy.
    There are a few other big name brokers out there that are well trusted OP - as well as sites reviewing and ranking them. Just do your research.
