WDC Markets Review
While reviewing this new broker WDC Markets, we saw that they have all the popular underlying assets for CFD trading on Forex, Market Indexes, Crypto Currency, Gold, Silver and Commodities. WDC offers investors a very basic trading app called PandaTS. You will not find the industry standard MT4 platform or any mobile trading apps.
Newbie CFD investors must know the difference between trading and investing. Investors using a CFD (Contracts for Difference) broker, are simply trading and looking to profit from the underlying assets price movement. You do not actually own the underlying asset or currency.
WDC Markets technically offers you a variety of account types, however, you will receive plenty of phone calls from their salesmen asking for a bigger investment. Their interest is getting you to invest all your life savings with them. Read the fine print on the deposit page, and you will see they are actually an “online entertainment” company.

ASIC Australia Warning!
“ASIC urges all investors considering investing, to check they are dealing with an entity that holds an Australian financial services licence.”
