Discount international brokerage

November 26, 2008 10:34 PM

Can anyone recommend an online discount brokerage that can execute trades internationally? All the online brokerages I've looked at that do international trades at all do them over the phone and charge a lot for these trades.

I'm located in Dubai if that's relevant.

Best answer: Interactive brokers are awesome if they let you have an account from Dubai. They let you trade lots of world markets, but that may be 'international' in the wrong direction.

Response by poster: oops, I should have been more clear. Yes, I'm looking to trade in as many world markets as possible, AND I need to be able to do it from Dubai.
So international in two senses.

Response by poster: Thanks! Interactive looks good, and they'll open an account for foreign residents.
