Alternatives to Suretrader

Not sure if this should go into retail or prop thread but I'll but it here.

Are there any alternatives to Suretrader where US people can open an account with less than $25k and daytrade stocks? Please don't hijack thread and advise me to trade futures or forex....or advise me that I am underfunded and should wait until I have more capital. Or take the series 56.....not interested. I am looking for:

1. Regulated: Obliviously this will be from an offshore regulator like Bahamas or Caymans.

2. Good platform with a web based option as well. DAS sucks.

3. Ability to fund by credit card if necessary.

4. Good short list

5. At least 6-1 intraday and preferably 10-1

6. Reasonable fees

Thanks in advance.

 

No one??

 

Well, I guess suretrader is the only game in town.

 

They are the only ones fitting your criteria. That is why they are so big and can get away with crappy customer service & high and hidden fees.

 

Not sure why you think "DAS sucks" as I thought it was a decent platform when I traded on it awhile back. The user interface seemed quite simple, and hot keys were a breeze to set up.

I agree with the op that your options are limited based on your criteria. And I highly doubt you can fund a trading account with a credit card, unless you're taking the cash out either via a cash advance or one of those "convenience checks" they send you in the mail at some teaser interest rate.

There is another firm mentioned on these boards called Cy Group however from my understanding they are NOT registered and I'm not sure where they operate. I am not recommending an unregistered firm, however since you have very strict criteria you can at least evaluate them by conducting your own due diligence.

 

Tradezero claims to be an alternative. Has the OP looked at that company?

Are accounts accepted from the US?
US and Bahamian citizens cannot open accounts with TradeZero. US citizens can open Bitcoin trading accounts.

 

"learn-2-trade" claims to have access to more than 6x leverage. Does OP have any experience with that company?

 

I have only found Shark Trading and CY Group, but that is it. I am not sure if they offer options. I would still be interested to know as well.
