Interactive Brokers has many thousands of UK clients.

It is possible to use eSignal and IB together. See http://individuals.interactivebrokers.com/en/software/tws/usersguidebook/configuretws/esignal_market_data.htm

There are no any automatic conversion rates. You either buy the currency on IDEALPRO with a very narrow spread or borrow it and pay interest rates.

"Im looking for a broker with good commissions and a great platform for execution (DOM) like ninjatrader." Ninjatrader works well with IB.

Interactive Brokers is the answer.

Pick futures with ES. You do not need any special subscription.

There is no automatic exchange. You are borrowing USD. Interest rate charges are due if you keep positions overnight. Alternatively, you can buy USD on IDEAL or IDEALPRO.

Yes, you can.

FX Trader in TWS is quite convenient.

The volume is very low. There is no interest in this product.

It is a tradeoff. You can keep pounds and pay interest on USD that you are borrowing from IB to cover margin. No interest will be charged if you are daytrading only. You can buy USD on IDEAL and do not pay interest. You will depend from currency exchange rates in this case.

DMFXTrader, IB is good for scalping and it is indifferent to your style because it takes commissions for trades and do not make markets.

What will be a normal size of your trades? It is hard to beat IB if you are going over 100K.

So, Berkeley Futures Ltd does not use SPAN for margin calculations? IB will beat it.

Unbundled is almost always better if you do not keep positions overnight. If you keep positions, then go bundled. In any case, it will not make a big difference with a small account.
