While not UK based, I'm a UK citizen and use Mirus Futures very easy account opening despite being in UK.

I wouldn't bother, you won't get good rates.
As annoying as it is, it would be ebtter to go with a US broker for direct market.

what do you mean by good rates? Exchange rates or commissions?

The purpose of this thread is to establish if anyone uses UK broker for trading es. I have tried a few of the bigger brokers and none do it. All things being equal I would prefer to have my funds based in the UK (and protected by UK law) rather than, as currently, in the US.

Actually, I think funds are protected for much more in the US under a protection scheme but of course not being in the country, you might find it harder to get through the process.
Is there a reason you want to trade ES by the way? I'm not trying to put you off but the hours are a bit of a pain if you live in Europe. May as well trade the DAX as the amount of daily moves are similar.
Doesn't seem particularly rational tbh...
Though if having a UK presence is important then I guess there is always interactive brokers.
Or assuming you're doing sufficient volume why not try - kyte, marex, xconnect, schnieder etc..

Thanks for that DT.
Re ib, still usa though right
Re marex, xconnect etc...this is where my investigations have lead, but like you said require large volumes to be competitive. Have you used these yourself. Any feedback?
Re rational, this is something that has been on my mind for a while re managing unlikely risk of funds getting caught up in some kind of broker problem outside of UK law. but we all know client accounts are segregated and safe in USA right

No, IB have various account locations, UK is one of them but you need the equivalent of 10k to open an account with them...at least that used to be the case. I would 2nd IB as well.
