What should I know when looking for a US broker?

I'm almost ready to go live. What should I know about finding a broker? (In the US)

Thanks in advance!

I'd suggest that the most important things to look at don't change between regions. You want to look at trading costs, market impact and contract specifications. Trading costs are first and foremost - I've actually spent all day researching this and its amazing how much the cost of trading with different brokers differs.Make sure you find the best spreads, the best swaps and the best deposit withdrawal rates. After that you want to look at market impact. How well does the broker deal with slippage and do they have a deep liquidity pool. This is particularly important if you will trade decent size (decent varies from market to market, product to product and broker to broker - happy to elaborate if you like). After that you want to look at the contract specs to make sure they are inline with what you are used to trading. You may want to look at things like customer service but if your anything like me you might just want to deposit and get on with it rather than talking to someone. Hope it helps

It’s scary to work with US involved brokers, as they always put their noses into everything and it comes with so many restrictions, I am sorry not able to recommend any broker for US, but I will suggest you to look for broker that’s not from US or be ready to face bundle of restrictions.
