Yes there are some problems here. I think forex trading in India is not allowed, in fact it could be labeled as a criminal offense, and I am quite sure SB is not legal. CFDs might be possible, but not sure about this either, as UK firms is not present in India.

Probably depends on which country you’re based in. For example, I would imagine that countries like Burma, Afghanistan, North Korea (!) would be on the ‘banned’ list – I assume the reason for this would be the difficulty they’d have in enforcing a legal agreement.

If you read the disclaimers at the bottom, it usually says they don’t deal with anyone from the US. Not sure why, probably legalities.

I suppose it’s a case of trial and error. I’ve used Accendo Markets, IG, Alpari. Give them a go, see what happens! Good luck.
