Any alternatives to IBKR when it comes to non-US residents and possibly also non-EU citizens...
Ideally the broker should allow for a wide range of asset classes and also stock options (listed options) and derivatives in general; margin account; have a reputable standing...
If on top the commissions would be comparable to IBKR, that would be excellent
AFAIR there is Saxo but commissions are simply crazy, especially for options like 5 times higher than IBKR (unless you invest 1M+) also some crazy minimums like 80eur per order ticket or such...
I remember someone mentioned flatex but perhaps there are some really intellignet alternatives...On the web they mention often Zacks, Lightspeed but those are just introducing brokers for IB and not sure if it is even possible to have for ex. a Zacks account if you already have IB account....etc
 
Crypto is NOT mandatory, what though I'd expect it that it routes all orders to regulated exchanges (no CFDs or market making desks where the broker is just taking opposite side of your trade)

CIM Banque helps open IBKR account for non-EU citizens & residents. Been enjoying it for years already

Didn't we had this discussion a few times before here? Not sure if there are any real alternatives but what about Saxo Bank ?

Thats a tall order sadly :(. Something got to give. Maybe look at Swissquote.

I do not live in the EU and have an account with IBKR-UK. Where is the problem?
 
Swissquote, Swissborg and Dukascopy none of them accept non-EU as requested from OP.

Since when does Swissquote not accept non-EU? eek¤%&

Have you got your facts mixed up here?
 
Nope, tried with other nationality than EU and rejected due to it.

Damn then things have changed at Swissquote :confused:. Does this apply to both Swissquote Switzerland and Swissquote Luxembourg (formally Internaxx). I had previously used Internaxx for a while as non-EU person.
