Hello,
Thank you for following our YouTube content — we’re glad you’ve found it helpful!
Regarding your question about brokers for U.S. citizens: unfortunately, both IC Markets and BlackBull Markets are not suitable for U.S. residents. Neither broker accepts accounts from U.S. clients due to regulatory restrictions, so opening a live account with them as a U.S. citizen would not be possible.
If you are a U.S. resident looking to trade with Expert Advisors or automated strategies, we recommend choosing a broker that is regulated in the United States (CFTC / NFA). Some brokers commonly used by U.S. traders include:
OANDA
Forex.com
Interactive Brokers
OX Share
These brokers allow U.S. clients to open accounts and are generally compatible with demo or live testing of automated trading strategies. We recommend starting with a demo account first to ensure the EA works under U.S. regulations before committing to a live account.
