Which US brokers allow trading on TSX-V?

Post by k3vb0t »

I’m in a similar position to this post about best broker for “play” account but with one added caveat.

I’ve got my eye on a few Canadian microcaps that trade on TSX-V (Toronto Securities Exchange - Venture). These companies do have OTC equivalents trading on US exchanges but the liquidity is essentially zero. Volumes are much much higher on TSX-V.

I can’t seem to find reliable information on which brokers allow trading directly on that exchange and at what trade cost. Was curious if anyone has experience with this.

You may want to look at Interactive Brokers, I used them 20-25 years ago for day (and night) speculative trading (kind of a play account), I was doing OK until the dot com bust, and then my account was pretty much liquidated on margin maintenance issues.

https://www1.interactivebrokers.com/en/index.php?f=1562 (in case you get bored with Canada, notice the tabs for different regions on top, you can trade 24 hours).

They also have a 2nd play (called a paper trading account, and play meaning it's not real money) account you can request, which repeats the last day, I think.

The caveat is the platform is really geared towards serious traders, there's somewhat of a learning curve to really understand the client software.
