How and where can I open an account to track and trade US stocks?

Lots of places! Let me just tell you my go-to cheapest broker TDAdmiratrade (used to be called Thinkorswim) They're the cheapest for me because I signed up through an investing school under Reshveen (ValueInvesting College) so my comms are like $5 per trade under the old system. But you probably can't get that deal anymore I believe, so you gotta find the cheapest deal in terms of trading fees, dividend fees, and holding fees.(Yes, some brokers charge you for holding your stocks and not trading!) Fair warning though. Local banks are super expensive.

Here are my Picks.

FSMOne - like their passive ETFs monthly purchase, BEST deal as of june 2020. - trading stocks, not so fantastic.

TDAdmiratrade Singapore - $10 comms until a certain size, good for smaller trades. No fees for dividends too!)

Standard chartered - low comms too! But downside is that it's a custodian account even for local stocks, and they charge fees for dividends overseas (Similar to a lot of local banks)

They've options that you can use to trade. Super comprehensive charting tools.

Bear in

The rest you can go search online, like from Seedly. (Saxo, poems, DBS, OCBC, UOB and the list goes on....
