Online trading. A concept that has literally thrust the financial world into the fast lane. But for most armchair investors putting the pedal to the metal to get in on the action of this online infobahn can seem extremely daunting, and without some expert guidance many just get left behind in the pits. With the right tools and support everyone can become a successful trader, but it is also important to continually sustain entrepreneurial growth. With this in mind, CM Trading are running an unprecedented campaign that allows all Business Referrers who introduce new clients to the world of online trading the chance to win a stunning BMW Z4! Yes, you read that right! Just by being a business referrer you could be burning rubber in your very own, very exotic BMW Z4.

CM Trading, an award-winning online trading company is committed to providing an essential investment service to clients who prefer an out-of-the-box approach to investment opportunities. With so many vehicles for financial growth accessible to South African investors, making responsible choices that yield tangible returns requires sound expertise from a partner with a vested interest in your long-term success.

Getting your position on the grid
Knowing just where to start is key to your investment growth. “Although a vast majority of people are familiar with online trading, very few understand exactly where to begin the process”, says Daniel Kibel, Founder and Director of CM Trading. “We are here to rev up the engines in the market. To offer the guidance, tools and support that will become the driving force that not only gets average South African’s into the investment game, but could potentially change one of their lives with our awesome prize.”

Most of us believe that in order to effectively trade, one needs to be an expert with a large sum of investment capital. But this notion has been debunked with their development of new and unique software solutions;  webinars, training videos and e-books – all for free.  “It is important to understand that anyone can become a trader through our unique website and easy to use and understand portals,” says Kibel, ”You don’t have to be a trading genius or have years of experience as a stock broker – we have created the platform to allow you to do it yourself.”

Put both hands on the wheel and take control of your finances
It is important to remember that you are in the driver seat when it comes to the performance of your investments. It’s a hard pill to swallow, but there is simply no quick fix when it comes to making money. It’s up to you to ensure that you’re aware of the risks, mindful of the markets ebb and flow and ultimately make the most out of the opportunity that sound investing offers. When asked if online investing is a savvy financial move, the only advice that Kibel could provide was none. “We are not here to offer investment advice. Our role is to provide our clients with the very best education and tools possible so that each and every one of our traders fulfil their full potential and trade like a pro. It’s a fact that money in the bank provides absolutely no value yield. The return that one can make through online share trading is so much more than the interest rate that the banks will offer you (on a fixed deposit from the major South African banks, the average rate is between nine and ten percent).  Responsible and expertly guided share trading can nett you so much more.”

Providing the driving force behind entrepreneurial growth
Online investment now truly is accessible to one and all. “This is an exciting time to invest. The markets are going wild with the Rand in its current state. Add to that the uncertainty surrounding Brexit, and the stage is set - with the market in a state of flux, one can be assured that there is money to be made”, concludes Kibel.

The crux of the matter is that when it comes to savvy investing, there is no checkered flag offering the sought-after podium finish. Constant warm up laps may be required; you may be forced to slow down and do an economy run every now and then; you will probably have to go up through the gears as you chase pole position… The only certainty is that the online trading circuit, and your navigation of it, is uncertain. It is essentially up to you to choose your team wisely. As the largest Forex broker in SA, and winners of the prestigious Best Performing Broker in Africa Award for the last three years, CM Trading provides a wealth of tools and resources at your fingertips because the better prepared you are, the better your trading performance will be.

What effect does Angela Merkel have on an online trade in South Africa?  What does a twitter comment by Donald Trump have to do with an ever changing US and South African market, the Rand vs the Dollar?  What does the VBS bank scandal have to do with trading, how will it affect my trade?  “These are questions often asked by budding traders and while the answer is quite simple, understanding how to get there needs to be explained” says Daniel Kibel, CEO of online trading company CM Trading. 

“The ever changing political and economic situation in any country has an effect on trading, on share and commodity prices and on the strength and weakness of your trade.  A good general knowledge of the world around you would help immeasurably.  Read the news, listen to the news, watch the news. While it might not be as exciting as watching a reality series or a sitcom, I cannot stress the importance of knowing the implications of your immediate economic climate as well as international situations.”

“As a would be trader, with no experience, we do offer the Make Me A Trader programme which guides and directs the inexperienced individual on how the market works and how to hopefully trade successfully and ultimately profitably that would either enable them to better their lives, to buy that car, to pay those school fees, or to enable them to reinvest in a new or existing share or commodity – this programme is offered at no cost to the individual but rather encourages responsible and informed trading with less risk.”

“That is not to say that there is no risk in trading.  People need to use their heads, they need to use their knowledge and have a good sense of the direction they want to go in.  With all that in their arsenal the trader has more chance of long term success in the market. As long as you have the know-how and you are able to ‘read’ the markets, no move should be catastrophic as you would be able to make or change your trade at the appropriate time.”

“In South Africa for example, the government has always tried to encourage savings, but it has been conventional savings, that is, putting your money in a savings account and earning interest.  However, if you look at the rate of inflation, it seems that you are actually taking your money and burning it with a 1 – 3% loss, meaning that the rate is higher than what you are getting back – it hardly seems worth it!”

“Some banks offer an interest rate of 10% on a fixed deposit over 5 years, some 6% for a 3 month fixed deposit, all their terms and rates are different but generally they are better for a fixed deposit – meaning your money is tied up for the amount of time agreed upon with your banker.  With trading on the other hand, you can make your money in a matter of minutes (obviously when properly informed and when understanding the markets around you).  You can do the trade from the comfort of your home or your laptop, ipad or mobile phone from wherever you are – it is quick, easy and through responsible trading with a regulated company, can be lucrative.   

“All that being said, trading is high risk but I really believe in my heart of hearts that more people should trade, there is so much to be made, to be done and it is an exciting business to be in – every day you wait is a day lost – don’t lose anymore!”
