Melbourne-based online share broker Trader Dealer has flagged that it is close to resuming trading following the completion of an agreement between MDS Financial Group and Norris Smith Stockbrokers.

MDS Financial announced last week that it and corporate advisory firm Red Box would acquire Trader Dealer’s business assets, including its operating systems and clients, as part of a joint venture put together in the aftermath of the Opes Prime collapse.
