Anyone here know a good trading platform with no/low fees &
commissions for those based in the EU? I have a good friend
in italy who’s getting killed by his bank and would love to send
some better alternatives his way…
I know there are some Europeans on here.. many thanks in
advance for sharing any experience you have!

I've been with IBKR for about 20 years. The customer
service and platform leave a lot to be desired, but if you know
what you're doing, it's worth it for the price and access to so
many markets. If I had a simpler, just a couple of personal
accounts kinda thing going on, I would probably be with
TastyWorks....but I don't think they're international yet.
You can link your IBKR to other front ends, like TradingView,
for better trade functionality. But it's only good for simple
trading. If you're buying and selling complex option spreads, I
think you're basically stuck with the platform (unless you're a
coder and can program your own front end....not as hard as it used
to be now that we have generative AI). IBKR does have some
templates available in their API section.
