  3. You just have to fill in a online form , most UK / Irish brokers have it on their website

    if day trading , watch the spreads, we get about 10 times the spread as our USA friends get. Then add on the commissions, tax, FX spread charge and it soon becomes a heck of a difficult proposition just to break even trading USA stocks. My 1.5min trade yesterday on AMD netted $275 profit or -£123 loss due to shite FX rate!
