What platform do you use for trading US market stocks and options and why?

I would say that stricter SEC rulings allows for better corporate governance in US listed companies. They also have higher liquidity and more analyst coverage. They are also more diversified  (SGX is dominated by property stocks, O&G, and financial services). The use of options can also help investors hedge and reduce market volatility. Many global brands also dual list on US stock exchange. US domiciled companies are also known to be very pro-investors in general. Information regarding US listed stocks are also more widely known and easily accessible by free online databases (Wolfram Alpha, Morningstar etc)

It's a good idea to at least get acquainted with the US market so you can invest when opportunity knocks.
