As a European resident and thus a non-US citizen, I'm engaged in financial trading through a brokerage account that I opened with Tradier in September 2023. This journey to establish my account took approximately six weeks, primarily due to the meticulous compliance process at Firstrade. My first trading activity was executed on September 27th. In line with standard industry practices, I receive individual confirmations for each trade I conduct, which includes specific confirmations for each options trade. Additionally, to keep track of my financial activities and portfolio performance, Firstrade provides me with a comprehensive monthly statement.
