short answer is: you can't Thank the "blue sky" law for that. US brokers got to have a Canadian registration. The only 2 that I am aware of are Optionsxpress and IB
Any suggestions of good future-brokers for Canadians. I'm interested in trading E-mini products and Energy futures (CL an NG). Thanks
No, it is illegal under Canadian law since circa 2002. But there is a simple way around it... Form a US or offshore corporation... And you'll need a decent accounting firm... To manage all your tax filings... So it's not trivial.
http://www.interactivebrokers.ca/en/main.php IB has gone to great pains to be registered in Canada. So you might as well enjoy it. I know I do.
Besides the two, there is Lind Waldock: http://www.lind-waldock.ca/ and MF Global: http://www.mfglobal.ca/index.html There is also one British CFD broker registered in Canada, CMC Markets: http://www.cmcmarkets.ca/
