    Yea, I had a look at goodbodys but they charge €32 commission per trade which is just crazy. IB and etrade charge about €10 per trade. The only advantage is they give you access to a nice range of markets, but at thaat price ill have to look somewere else.

    Hi all,

    I am also looking for a good online broker.

    I am currently using GoodBody, but they're way too expensive, and you need to trade at least 127 Euros.

    Pataman, is sharewatch any good userfriendly wise.

    It looks cheap enough, but the website looks a bit messy.


    Anybody else has good advice ?

    There's a list of brokers here but it s your experience I want :)

    www.interactivebrokers.com are meant to have extreemly competitive fees,
    You can register from Ireland


    Oh, anyone here with Elan shares, esp those who bought in after the Accounting Scandal, will be glad to hear a rumour that share prices are expexted to rise to 40 PS.
