I would not feel safe with your plan.
Some reputable US brokers like Fidelity and Schwab do have international offices. I know that both are in London. Not sure about Australia.
Unless you have a US taxpayer ID number/valid US Social Security number, you won't be any US stocks...that's not how it works!
It's really possible to make money with trading online, specially with binary trading. You have just to know where to learn... and I know the best source ( http://forexsignal.kyma.info ) This course explain everything you need to start a very profitable trading activity. Before you "learn" to day trade you first must understand the markets, the products traded in the markets and the rules you have to follow to be in the market. You have to learn what to do, why to do it, when to do it and how to do it. If can learn all of this then and only then can you day trade. Before you day trade you must be able to trade. You also need a written sound trading/investment plan with rules that will not only help you but more importantly protect you, mostly from yourself. You also need sufficient trading/investment capital. Use your own money, there’s no need to go into debt so that you can trade/invest. It is more imperative to have a written money management program in place. Remember never invest 100% of your capital into any one security and never have 100% of your capital invested and a good understanding of the rules
The secret word of trading success is "organized". You can't be successful without a strategy, a plan and some kind of technological support. I use a software called "autobinary signals" that is helping me a lot. There are plenty of them on the market. I recommend this one because it's very easy to use (you don't have to be an expert or have special skills to make money with it).

You can make good money like me with this binary option signal software ( http://forexsignal.kyma.info ) Binary options trading has always been popular, however, this investment fad globally exploded around 2008. Originally known as digital options, binary or the name "two values" was added to give a simpler explanation for trading options. Binary is defined as two values or up and down movements. Binaries rely on underlying assets or derivatives. You can trade in commodities, the forex (foreign exchange market), commodities as well as stock indices.
If you are the tax payer of the US government then only it is possible to use it.
You have to be a resident of the states to open any account,,,
Even if you could do this, you would have to pay an exchange fee to convert your funds,,, talk about throwing money away
I'm thinking of using SureTrader to trade stocks, However most of the stocks I will be trading will be international stocks, mostly US.
So will I be able to use a US stock broker such as SureTrader, or will I have to use an Australian broker and trade globally (something I would rather not do as international transactions have high commission)
Thanks!
