I use Fidelity. The international team is very competent. A good bit of learning curve involved.
Few Tips
1. Ticker = TTE:AU
2. Trading starts at 5pm Central US Time.
3. Trades using an IRA Brokerage account must be manually placed by an International Representative, no exceptions. This has to be placed before 7pm Central US. Once the trade is placed, it's pretty much a "go or no-go" order. You can however call them up to 7pm before they leave and they will help with needs.
4. Currency difference plays a big roll in what' seen in the account vs what was bought. For example: $1000 can buy 250,000 shares at 0.004 Australia Money. There will be 250,000 shares in US account, but the money will show that you only used $750. Also, the price/share will appear as 0.003 because the "average" difference is 73% AUD to USD lately. If that's not clear, the US account will show 0.003/share X 250K = $750. So don't be surprised, when looking at the TTE share price of 0.008 your account shows the price to be 0.006, it's just currency automatically converted.
5. From Fidelity's Website: Before you can trade internationally, you will need to sign up. You start that process by navigating to
How to Sign Up for International Stock and Currency Trading.
After you've signed up, but prior to placing your first international stock trade or currency exchange, you must contact an International Trading Specialist at (800)-544-2976.
