Tradestation international update, are they together with IB ?

Hi

I´m an overall satisfied customer of IB but am looking for another brokerage open to EU based customers, it needs to have access to international markets as I might transfer HK listed positions and cash from Hong Kong banks to this new account (7 digits USD ).
Tradestation used to fit those criteria, but when I check tradestation I get to :

https://www.tradestation-international.com/global/

and it seems the accounts end up with IB.

Not much wrong with IB except I have enough funds there, and if they get more difficult with EU customers, which seems to be the case although they haven´t contacted me yet, I´d need diversification, not face similar issues from IB and TS at the same time.

Anyone has feedback to share ? Advice on other brokers that fit the bill ? It´d be to hold long term positions so not overly conscious about commissions, definetely need to be able to fund from Asia and later be able to wire the funds out to a same name account in a different continent, athough there shouldn´t be manywithdrawals if at all.

Thanks !
 
I'm trying to open an account with TS (not TS international) as a backup to IB. Its an email process that seems to take weeks, I used to have an account with them years ago and it worked just fine. I closed and now I'm having to do all over again, we will see if it works
try PAlbino@tradestation.com
 
Thanks Daal, but that account would only give u access to US markets right ?

It might still be an option btw, transfer HKD shares to IB than some US shares from IB to TS, but the less movement the better ime, any idea if there are other big brokerages giving access to international markets or at least HK and open to EU customers ?
Doubt it´s gonna get better for non resident accounts in the near future btw.

On a second thought first transferring shares and cash from HK bank to IB might be a safer bet as IB already knows the accounts I use in HK and the size wouldn´t look too big compared to total acct size.
I´m having a hard time figuring out how to adress a new brokerage as a EU resident and want to transfer the contents of a private banking account in HK to the new account, compliance probably won´t like this.
But please tell me anyone if I´m just going the wrong way about this.
Issue is I used to live in China, have bank accounts in HK (no hidden assets, no CRS issue) , came back to Europe and it´s complicated to maintain those accounts in HK as an EU resident.
 
I dont know if there is a brokerage that does this at a resonable price, there are a lot of other ones out there, but they are a bit sketchy or just super expensive. US markets give global access through ETF and futures so to me that is enough
