The brokers listed here provide direct access to US equities, enabling clients to buy and sell shares from major US exchanges like NYSE and Nasdaq. For high-quality US stock trading, a broker must support commission rates under $0.01 per share, offer real-time Level 2 market data updates, and allow accounts to settle trades in US dollars to avoid conversion costs. Investors should check that the broker provides full pre-market and after-hours trading windows, as some platforms restrict access to these extended sessions.
Interactive Brokers offers unrivalled market access and the lowest commissions in the industry for active stock traders. The TWS platform is extremely powerful but has a steep learning curve for beginners.
IG stands out in the UK stocks market for combining real share dealing, a Stocks & Shares ISA, listed options trading, and bonds, giving active investors a full-service, multi-asset account that most app-based platforms cannot match.
Saxo Bank offers institutional-grade market access in a polished web platform, making it a strong choice for sophisticated investors who want access to global stock markets, options, and bonds in a single account.
