OANDA, a provider of online multi-asset Contracts for Difference trading services, has expanded its offering in Australia with the addition of share CFDs on stocks listed in the US and Europe.

The update is part of the launch of a new OANDA One sub-account, which allows eligible clients to trade via the MetaTrader 5 platform. With the addition of share CFDs, Australian traders can access individual company shares including Nvidia, Microsoft, Alphabet, Tesla, and Amazon.

Shares from countries such as the USA, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Spain, Sweden, Portugal, the Netherlands, Finland, and Denmark are included.

The expansion completes OANDA’s multi-asset CFD offering in Australia. Retail traders can now access a full range of instruments, including indices, forex , commodities, metals, and bonds.

OANDA Highlights Choice, Diversification, Trading Platforms

Rafal Slon, Managing Director of OANDA Australia, said the launch reflected “the growing demand for CFDs” and noted their appeal in allowing traders to “benefit from price fluctuations without owning the underlying assets.” He added that integrating the new share CFDs into OANDA’s platform gives clients “greater choice and valuable diversification opportunities.”

The full suite of tradable instruments is available through the OANDA app and the TradingView platform.

Prop Firm FTMO Enters Brokerage Sector

The expansion comes after OANDA was acquired by FTMO, a proprietary trading firm, from CVC Asia Fund. FTMO had already signalled its intention to enter the brokerage sector by establishing a brokerage unit and appointing Michael Kamerman to lead it. Riana Chaili later joined as Chief Operating Officer of the brokerage division.

The financial terms of the OANDA acquisition were not disclosed. Previously, CVC acquired OANDA in 2018 for a reported valuation of around $162.5 million, according to Finance Magnates.

FTMO, which recently reported strong cash reserves and revenue growth, now oversees OANDA as part of its broader strategy to combine proprietary trading and brokerage operations. The acquisition positions the firm to expand its presence in the global CFD and forex markets, while supporting the rollout of new products such as the Australian share CFD offering.

    Executive Interview | Brendan Callan | CEO, TRADU | FMLS:25

    Brendan Callan joined us fresh off the Summit’s most anticipated debate: “Is Prop Trading Good for the Industry?” Brendan argued against the motion — and the audience voted him the winner. In this interview, Brendan explains the reasoning behind his position. He walks through the message he believes many firms avoid: that the current prop trading model is too dependent on fees, too loose on risk, and too confusing for retail audiences. We discuss why he thinks the model grew fast, why it may run into walls, and what he believes is needed for a cleaner, more responsible version of prop trading. This is Brendan at his frankest — sharp, grounded, and very clear about what changes are overdue.
