Summary: When it comes to the consideration of expatriate trading systems 'flexibility' is the key - from flexibility of trading system cost structure, strategy type, markets traded, risk per trade etc., but when you consider that there are hundreds of different technical analysis based trading systems out there, how do you find what you're looking for? This article examines the main considerations...

One of the key essentials for expatriates when it comes to money matters is ‘flexibility’ - from flexibility in terms of access to a range of international banking facilities to flexibility in terms of health insurance coverage for example.

Therefore when it comes to the consideration of expatriate trading systems ‘flexibility’ is once again the key - from flexibility of trading system cost structure, strategy type, markets traded, risk per trade etc.  When you consider that there are hundreds of different technical analysis based trading systems out there, how do you find what you’re looking for?

One way is to find an online brokerage who specialise in online share dealing for international and expatriate clients.  There are a number of well respected companies out there, many of them located offshore, who specialise in the provision of complete trading services for international clients and who offer a range of targeted account structures depending on the level of direct interaction the client wishes to have.

Beginning with a simple online international brokerage offering managed trading systems to expatriates - such a company will likely offer the client the ability to place simple self directed trades online, real time for a fixed fee.  Depending on the volume of trades placed different fee structures will apply and some of the simplest expatriate trading systems will offer limited real time assistance but all should offer a secure trading platform.

For the more serious and dedicated expatriate trader who wishes to have greater access to a wider range of exchanges for example or the ability to access CFD and ForEx trading, the ability to trade 24 hours a day, to have dedicated online or telephone support, to set up multi currency offshore trading accounts etc., one of the best dedicated expatriate online brokerages is Internaxx who are based in Luxembourg and who already service thousands of international clients from around the world.

The advantages of going with such a substantial operator include: -

1) The ability to access the widest range of opportunities available - from straight share dealing to offshore investing in mutual funds offered by some of the best asset managers internationally
2) Having access to discounted dealing commissions
3) Earning interest on multi currency cash accounts
4) Getting full and dedicated online or telephone support from specialist personnel

When selecting the best expatriate trading system or online broker your decision should be based primarily on your personal levels of trading experience.  Remember to factor in your requirements for support and assistance and ensure any system operator or brokerage complies with your requirements, also remember that as an expatriate your circumstances can change and you will potentially need access to more flexibility that can allow for things like 24 hour trading, multi currency transactions etc.  And finally, when examining any online trading system check out the company’s security strategies - ensure they are sophisticated and incorporate encryption technology and protected password procedures.
