  4. IB says on the page for usa residents only so I cant use them.
    Who is the best after them for dow emini etc futures.
    Id prefer a platform not browser based and direct access not IB any suggestions would be helpfull.:)

    The real problem here is you are taking a position in a 99 dollar stock into an earnings release to make 20 cents? That might be one of the worst trading ideas I have heard of in a long time. Next time buy a plane ticket to Vegas and put 100 bucks on black on a roulette wheel.......basically the same thing you attmepted with that trade. Horrible trade.

  6. Are you sure? IB supports traders from many countries - I've seen posts here about them from people in Europe and Asia - and their web site shows they have a division in Australia.

    angryangry,

    List of countries of our customers (> 150) is pretty close to United Nations members list. Where did you see this "US only" on our site?

    How's this sound (this was actually recommended by a friend several times)..."all you gotta do is buy a million shares of a stock and when it goes up a cent sell the million shares", no joke!

  10. Ok I misunderstood it,
    What I mean is to use it here I have to go through some company called Timberhill Pty Ltd
    (Introducing Broker for Interactive Brokers in Australia)
    and I have to give them my tax information because they are in Australia.
    What I mean is I cant use Interactive Brokers USA, I need a broker NOT in my own country so this leaves out Interactive Brokers and Man.
    What about Eminidirect?
    Eminidirect is an IB for Vision LLP are these any good?Of course I dont really want an IB I want direct access like Farr without the ridiculous commissions and mistakes.Farr you gotta get at least 10 points to make $50 with 2 contracts cos it works out like $25.10 for RT for one emini Dow contract how pathetic is that!!!
