Good day
I am a BComm maths student, and would like to start trading. I want to trade shares, commodities and maybe a few derivatives for hedging purposes. What would be the best platform? I don't have an exuberant amount to trade with so lowest possible fees/commission.
Some advise would be greatly appreciated

EasyEquities is the cheapest for shares but more targeted towards long term investing. You can trade but have very little control over prices etc.
ABSA ETF Only will give you limit orders etc but you'll be limited to ETFs only (as per name). It does give you a full trading platform though at relatively low cost.
The above two is probably best for practicing and building up a small portfolio before moving to more expensive platforms.

if you just want to start small GT247 will probably be best for TRADING - holding intraday to a couple of months. 0.1% on buy and and sell - no minimum. Download a demo and see if it works for you first.
