Interactive Broker (IB) is probably the cheapest in Canada.

you can try with http://www.alttrading.com/contact.php
Ask for Dwayne Paul. He can get you decent rates but not as low
as IB. They had a platform with PFG and it was shity.
And for the CTS platform(very good) they could not get this platform to Canadian customers, weird. It was over a year ago.
Maybe they made changes and granted access to Canadians nowadays.

But why stick to Canada?

You'll find better rates in the US of A.

My current broker: http://www.shatkinarbor.com/

Rock solid trading platform T4 from CTS.
No freeze, no jam and haven't seen any significant down time
They accept Canadian too.
It's harder and harder for Canadians to open a trading account in the US.

Call them all and tell us which one is your pick.

If your friend is a Canadian citizen and wants his funds protected, IB is the only solution.

 

I'm in Canada and use Interactive Brokers. A YM trade will cost less than $5.00 round trip.

 

how do you deal with the taxes ? Is there a canadian branch of
IB or is everything done from the US . What sort of documents do you get from them at the end of the year ?

 

Forex-forex doesn't have to deal with taxes cause he doesn't make any

but hey guy I am in Vancouver, come see me I will help you out, PM me, I live in Burnaby

 

I use Tradestation

 

How much now required to open an account as an individual. Few years they were asking only $2000 but now I heard $10000 min to open the account. Is it right?
