    Hi,

    I'm learning options trading to diversify my trading, which is currently spot FX via FXCM in the UK. I've been paper trading using a TOS papermoney account, but I know I can't use TOS 'for real' as I'm in the Uk. Therefore, I'm interested in finding out which brokers other options traders based in the UK are using, and/or who you would recommend I look at.

    Thanks in advance,

    Phil

    What are you looking to trade options on? Equities, futures etc? Then, what markets? We offer equities and options on US listed symbols.

    Those 2 should do: IBUK and Tastyworks - the latter might be a better recommendation for beginners, but not only for them. I can recommend Lightspeed (R.Morse) as well, but the account minimum required would be less with IBUK (10K) and TW (2K)

    Kind regards
