searching for a good international broker

[wadwizzle]

hello. I am a first timer here. I've been trading for about 6 years and get a lot of leads for stocks in Canada and Austrailia but have been unable to locate a broker that does it all. The closest I can come is IB but they really focus on options worldwide and stocks are minor and the exchanges they do list for stocks are minor. Scottrade seems to be offering Canadian, but I can't get confirmation. I'm looking for an online broker that takes a USA citizen for an account and is able to provide good stock, option and forex trades worldwide. Does anything like this exist?

I doubt if you will find better than IB. What stock exchanges do you want that they do not support ? In particular they do Australia and Canada, Japan, HK, London, most of Western Europe. I don't know what you mean by minor exchanges.

thanks for the IB recommendation

I was hoping for the Vancouver Stock Exchange which IB doesn't cover but they do cover the TSX which I also wanted. I guess I consider the Vancouver exchange a minor one.
