    IG Markets

    Pros:
    Covers all S&P 500 and NASDAQ100 companies aswell as all other major international exchanges
    Low comissions - for US and Canada (2c/share or $15min either side)
    Australian cash account denominated in AUD
    Leveraged, so less capital tied up
    Much better available order structure, stop loss, garunteed stop, trailing stops etc., than most share brokerages offer
    Ability to also trade any other major international stock, indicies, commodity, bonds, forex, binary market using the same account

    Cons:
    Haven't found any yet.

    Ease of use:
    Easy.
