    May I know what instruments you want to trade? Just wanted to know before I post a reply.

  2. Hi Robert.

    I trade US stocks at the moment.

    But i wanted a platform that could offer me access to as many other equity markets as possible.

    At this stage I am only interested in stocks.

  3. Hi atticus,

    Who offers 7x ?
    And what does "portfolio margin" mean?

    If I have $100k cash do I get $700k intraday buying power??

    Leverage is actually not the primary concern here.

    If I can get access to platform that would give me access to more markets than IB with the same 4x as IB then that's cool :cool:

    although already recommended, i would try Lime Brokerage.
    Maybe NewEdge could be a viable solution.

  5. Lime is good for cheap commission and low latency, but unfortunately they only offer US stocks.

    I don't need ultra low latency, my systems aren't too high frequency (average trade lasts several hours).
