A friend is looking to start Online Trading on the UK Stock Exchange. There looks to be loads of businesses listed on a Google search that seem willing to take his money, one I looked at was UK.Etrade.com - £8.95 per trade and looked easy to start an account.

Any advise or suggestions would be appreciated.

Don't you need a U.K. bank account, or some sort of sterling account?

i use cmcmarkets for futures and spreads

td watehouse for stocks and shares

you will need an account in steling, so keep one of your bank accounts open

transfering money to and from these accounts are quick and free.

i've heard of e-trade and as far as i know they are a proffesional concern

best of luck

Try http://interactivebrokers.com/en/main.php

With an acount there you can trade worldwide.

Have used them for many years for both futures and stocks. If you want customer service then they are a little slow. if you know what you are doing then they are one of the best price wise.

Agree on that.

Been a customer since 1998, never had a problem.

I wouldn't touch e-trade with a 30 feet pole.

You just read a couple of forum for traders and you'll know why. (hint... hacked accounts doesn't sound good, right?).

I got to tell you, fast trading (also known as scalping ) is a pain from Thailand, latency is a disaster.

Good for trading not based on ultra fast executions.

Hope it helps
