If you are in Canada, which broker are you using? I am considering these brokers as per Sierra Chart suggestion:

I checked with Edge Clear and they do not do Canadian tax forms (e.g. T5 on investment income) but they did call me.

Also checked with RJ O'Brien Canada and they have offices in other provinces of Canada but do support customers in British Columbia. Their monthly fee is heavy with US$40 routing through CQG.

Will check Cannon Trading today.

I thought I put this up for all Canadians using Sierra Chart: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1K1FchazBSsSkXldaB-hsBKCpKqQGbqwYOjDHPtK2-TI/edit?usp=sharing

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated as I am just trying to switch broker / find a new broker.

Hi there, I am wondering what broker you ended up going with. I am looking to do the same.

@FFTrader
I am not aware any US brokers do Canadian Tax Forms (btw, for futures trading, it would be T5008)?

Thanks so much for taking the time and effort to start that spread sheet, there is definitely room to improve though, if you want to make a relative complete and accurate one.

Discount Trading (Data: Rithmic; FCM IronBeam) is really good, they accept Canadian customers. Also Phillip Capital is a FCM not a broker, they do accept Canadian customers, just the service is terrible. Both Edge Clear and Stage 5 have Rithmic and Teton, CQG is probably the least favorable. Be careful with GFF though, different person from GFF could offer complete different commissions.

Also, you might want mention TD Canada Trust, they have a service called Cross Border Banking, you would be able to open a US bank account (TD US), without traveling to the States, that will save you money transferring funds.
