International broker with reasonable fees and min balance?

IB has two cost structures, perhaps one of them is better than the other for you?
You also seem to be trading low priced stocks. Maybe it is worthwhile to consider a trading strategy that works with the commissions you are charged (rather than find a broker that charges the commissions that work with your strategy).

I'm a Canadian looking to travel a bit and may move to Colombia, Brazil or Uruguay I'm not sure yet.

As a trader how will I get access to US markets in a cheap and reasonable way?

I already have a Questrade account but it is Canadian only.
I recently opened an Interactive Brokers account but the trading fees are too high. I paid $27.50 to buy 6000 shares of TNXP yesterday($5500 worth), and another $27.50 to sell today. Such a trade would only cost $10 each way with Questrade, or even less with a discount US broker such as Just2Trade or Sogotrade.

After a bit of research Schwab, Fidelity and E-trade come up as good options.
But Schwab requires 25k minimum which is a bit too high for me right now.

I was hoping to find an interational broker with reasonable fees and minimum balance.

Thanks that is one thing I'm thinking. But I also trade low priced stocks too so maybe I need a second broker as well. I don't like being limited
