TD Ameritrade and FSMOne or POEMS are all what You need.

Trading fees are so low today, for buy & hold investor almost unimportant.

SaxoTraderGO is their trading platform - you will still need a Saxo account to trade on it, which comes with its associated fees. Their platform allows for long-term holding.

Generally, I do not recommend Saxo for their currency conversion fee (0.75%), custody fee (0.12% p.a.), and high commissions of minimum 8 GBP on the LSE if you plan to hold Irish-domiciled ETFs for lower withholding taxes.

To determine what broker is best for you, you need to consider a few things first:

  • Commissions (cost per trade)

  • Fees (custody, currency conversion, dividend handling, corporate action)

  • Market availability

  • Trustworthiness

  • Ease of use

You can read my other answers here and here where I did a comparison between 4 brokers - Saxo, SCB, Tiger and IBKR.​​​
