    I have an algorithm which requires to trade basket of stocks (20-30) at close of day in UK stock market. I have been comparing the UK stock trade costs. They are much more expansive than US. For example IB is charging 6GBP per stock, which will wipe out my profits.
    Is there a UK brokerage which will allow basket trades lower commission?
    Thanks

    Are you on the uk? Equity execution is tough from the states for European equities.

    Two options for you to consider :

    1. Trade spreadbet/CFD via the API of a spreadbet/CFD firm
    2. Trade baskets of ADRs on the US markets.
