Online Stock Trading Company
anyone know of an online stock trading company that will let a non-resident use it?
have tried to register with various online US or UK-based stock/share trading companies but, as soon as I enter Japan as my residential address, I am informed that only residents of the US or UK can use their services. Anyone know of any company with limited red tape?
Don’t know the answer for UK companies and/or citizens, but as a US citizen living in Japan too, I managed to open an account at a firm listed on this site:

You can get around the non-US address incompatibility with US address input fields in several ways:
1) For those who offer two address inputs (i.e. “Permanent” and “Mailing”) input each US and non-US address, and synchronise the addresses online once your account is established.
2) Don’t apply for the account online; rather print the form and handwrite and/or call the customer service rep for assistance (which is good way to test the customer service quality of your intended brokerage)
