Hello all

Fairly new and am now looking to move to the US markets so any advice on this would be highly appreciated. Can't seem to find much on this from a newbue perspective. Keen to hear any experiences of starting with the US equities and all it involves.

Bit confused on a few things:

-are you better off registering with a US broker, wiring over funds and trading in USD rather than using a UK broker? Any opinions on which brokers? Have come across a few but I am certain there are more.
-anyone use trade station? Only ask as they offer an all in one platform with execution and I would be keen to try this out
-anyone use a single platform to trade both UK and US equites preferably with execution? or at the least with real time data?
-best way to trade on both sides of the pond...

Many thanks for any input.
