Who to open an account with?

Question

Hey,

Which online broker is the best for trading in the UK. I checked out Barclays and they have some pretty nifty things to help make trading decisions, can someone tell me the disadvantage of choosing Barclays?

If Barclays isn't the best option can someone tell me which online brokers are the best for UK trading? And is it possible to trade in the US with Barclays stockbrokers? (Nominee account)

Answer 1

If you are trading why not do CFDs(no stamp) or spreadbetting(no tax)

Cantor Fitzgerald

IG Index

Etc.
