Finally got through to directshare help centre guy.Explained about the page unavailable when I tried to go to my direct share log on,therefore I went to etrade.Big mistake should not have used my usual link but used
www.directshares.com.au
This opened up a page that accepted the log on.
He seemed surprised there was no link to take you there in the first place.
Have a sneaking suspicion that directshare clients may be a hybrid,not exactly directshares,not exactly etrade.

I can use it now, but it's as slow as a dog. Just refreshing a quote can take a minute or more.
Forget trying to actually trade.

Well, what a total crap day that was!
Not only was Etrade stuffed for most of the day, but my HSBC direct debit facility to the NAB is no longer useable, meaning I can't easily transfer funds via the Internet any more (at least no more than $5K a day), and while the XAO ended up down less than 1.5%, half of my stocks are down nearly 3.5% and one is down over 10%!
It now looks like I'm going to have to move my settlement account from HSBC to ANZ so that I can actually transfer a reasonable amount of funds into it via the Internet again. Etrade have already told me I have to apply for a new HIN to do that - I can't just change the settlement account of the existing HIN. And then I'll become an ordinary new Etrade customer, probably losing the lower HSBC brokerage rate.
More hoops guys, I need more hoops to jump through!
Time to give up and take a holiday I think...:

I hope this isn't going to be trouble
I had never logged into my normal HSBC savings account, only ever went to the HSBC Stockbroking to do transfers. I have now applied to get a pin # to access my savings account at the HSBC here: http://www.hsbc.com.au/personal/ifs/logon.html
Anyway, are you saying that you can only direct debit from my "other" (you use NAB) account into the HSBC savings account $5000 at a time?
Can't you do an account transfer through your "other" account into the HSBC savings account, any amount you like? ie: the other way around?
Cheers SB
What a load of crap they are.Get 1-20 trades for $27.95,21+ $$16.50.
For this there doen't seem to be any research to speak of,at least directshares had aegis with some kind of feed back.
Service can be upgraded by paying$32.95 1-10 shares,11-20 $27.45. 21+ $21.95.Don't know what happens if you upgrade and don't buy from them.
The old directshares interface was nothing to write home about but at least everything was in place.
In my portfolio I could see how much my shares cost in the first place the bid and ask,the last sale % up or down the total value and by clicking on the asx code went to course of sales with hi lo vol etc.
This new one is a dogs breakfast.
Everything was so slow today I ended up giving up.God help anyone who trades on a daily basis the way the market was today together with etrade.
Am looking at a couple of other options this week,I liked directshares because it came and went by direct debit and credit from st george account,bet after today that doesn't seem so important.
