Hi all,
I'm based in the UK and looking for a reputable options broker, Initial research leads me to the two most popular brokers TD Ameritrade and Interactive brokers. However I'm coming across several issues with both. First of all it seems that TD Ameritrade no longer accept foreign accounts, which is a real shame because I like the Thinkorswim platform.
Interactive brokers look good however ideally I want a broker from outside the US to avoid the ridiculous PDT (Pattern daytrading rule) which states that account sizes have to be greater than $25,000 for active traders.
Any advice or experiences in finding a UK/European etc broker would be very much appreciated
Many Thanks
Jonny
