Sorry if posting the same thing in another section is frowned upon, i posted it in first steps yesterday and it has no replies, so mods can delete it if they want.
Hello, just wanting to ask some questions about brokers.
What brokers would you suggest assuming.
1. I want to swing trade stocks
2. I live in the UK
3. I want to trade in euros or pounds (unless you can convince be going with the dollar would be a good idea)
4. I need to be able to short stocks
5. I dont have much to start with about £1500
6. Considering point 5, low comissions would be good
7. Protection of my money if the company goes bust
Also after that any advice about what i should do differently or other things to think about, if its even a good idea with such little money etc. I dont intend to do this right away but if i am going to paper trade first i might as well have an idea of what kind of broker im going to be dealing with because from what i have seen the UK seems to be limited. Thanks.
