New broker ideas?

I'm in the UK and find Tradestation and Traderview charting a good combo for a beginner in Futures and Micro Futures in particular. Tried the usual suspects on this site that cite cheap fees etc but was impressed that TS would answer queries promptly and offer practical help.
 
If the main concern about IB is the Charting, it is possible to use a different frontend for charting and allow execution to flow through IB. I believe you can even have TWS and another frontend up at the same time, allowing you to leverage both for a good user experience.

This might be a better alternative to switching brokerage firms entirely.

Also, if you are so inclined, you might be able to roll your own as it has good API support. I'm unsure what kind of charting you use. For me, I'm using an Eikon Terminal which handles all my charting needs, then flip over to TWS for execution.
 
High commission is one of the things with these brokers. Saxo is good, but that was the issue. I went offshore with Forexchief. Its better off that way. I get to pay insignificant trading commissions. There is the leveraged and margin trades as well.

I did go with Forexhief as well and I don't regret. I hate any form of complication when it comes to trading, especially high fees, slippage and spread widening unnecessarily.
