AE - IB is Interactive Brokers. Through their Trader Work Station (TWS) one can trade the world!
I won't snow you; there will be some start-up anxieties as one learns how to use the TWS. But the speed of execution, lower commission rates, ability to place bracket orders and 'all-in-one' location are worth the effort.

The IB Universal Account allows you to trade multiple products around the world from a single account. You can trade stocks, options, futures, Forex, bonds, and Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) all from the same Trader Workstation screen, and your transaction history and positions are all reported on a single statement.
Trading around the world is simple, because you are not required to open accounts in multiple currencies. Deposit a single currency in an account and when you want to trade a product denominated in another currency, a loan is created which is secured by your deposited currency. If you wish to eliminate the loan, you may do so at any time by trading currencies through our IB IDEAL network or depositing money in another currency. You will find that our currency exchange rates are better than retail banks or exchange rates offered by the credit card companies.

Additionally one can set up an Advisor/Friends & Family account to manage multiple separately managed accounts.

Disclosure: obviously I trade with IB. So far it is the best platform I have used, though CyberTrader isn't bad [I'm too cheap to pay for the full upgrade 250/mo, tho].
Hope this helps. Let me know what you think after looking over IB.
