Saxo? Really? I`am a long term customer with mixed feelings, just about to move away. ...
I chose them as the alternative to IB, not my best decision.

Thanks for the comments.

As you note, there aren't many obvious good alternatives. Other than being annoying, do you have particular concerns about Saxo? Would they fall into the category of "good enough"?
Living where I do, the main alternative is wealth management banks, and the fees are eye watering. For example, if you had rolled T-bills quarterly over the last couple of years you'd be losing money because the commissions exceed the yield.

Technically I'm a client of IB UK, not IB US, but I'm not sure how much the corporate distinction would matter in the event that the US passed some rules to the detriment of non-US-persons.

Jim
