How well does Comsec accommodate share day traders?, all trades are planned be well within their terms under their cheapest trade price offering.
Worried before i sign up they might want a deposit before the trade, even with full funds sitting in their mandated accounts or for any other behaviour they may have that might be hard to hurdle throughout these transactions.

I often buy with no money in my comsec settlement account...its never been an issue.
Thankyou, do your trades if within their price cap (10K I think?) happen every time at their $19.95 price? Wondering if they will whip this away at either the buy or sell or both, if the T+3 is not perfectly observed somehow.
With Comsec, I'm pretty sure that I need sufficient funds to cover the purchase, so even if I sell the shares before settlement, they'll charge me a fee for not having the money there, even though after settlement it will be, and they obviously know it (pretty stupid in my opinion). I've never tested it with Comsec, and I'm just going on what they've told me over the phone.
Comsec let you buy with no cash in the account as long as you have the money before settlement day, ie you got three days to put the cash in including the trading day as it settle on the 4th, T+3
I do it all the time ... most of my cash sit in a business account and I can load up stocks and I then transfer cash over the next few days...and there is no limit I bought 30K, 50K, 100K no worry
It seems rather daft for Comsec to be demanding money even though they know they owe you more money than you owe them.
With Westpac I can make a trade and not pay until settlement, and if I sell the shares before settlement there is no issue even if the cash account has too little money to cover the trade.
You can sign up to their more professional service, and pay less commissions
I would say it's to discourage desperados from taking a free punt with comsec's cash. You know, 'If I hit big I'll cash out my winnings, if I lose I'll change my phone number.'
By demanding each purchase be settled they can quickly identify the broke-arses and cut them off.
Is there a way you can get cheaper than $19.95?
Is it really Comsec's money? When you buy you settle T+3, when you sell you settle T+3. It's the seller's money.
And people - please please please don't buy shares that you can't pay for... you might make money for the first 20 trades, but the 21st trade would be your undoing...
