Thanks for the chart, goodtyneguy.

My pleasure.

In the past TOS did not take UK customers and as far as I am aware that has not changed with their new business relationship with T D Ameritrade. Their UK arm is T D Direct and if I am correct this was T D Waterhouse before T D Ameritrade came on the scene. In fact their web site looks very familiar.

I had an ISA with T D Wasterhouse for a short period of time as did other disgruntled customers. Without going into detail I was pleased to get out. In any case if it's a decent integrated charting package you are after it would cost you £200 per quarter for their Pro charting offering if your trades were less than 25 for the period. This is probably the package gbarbs and other US and Canadian citizens are offered for free or perhaps a small data charge.

A cheaper alternative is to take a look at idealing.com. They have a free delayed data (15 mins) charting package and commissions are a little cheaper than Selftrade. There is an option to get live LSE data and trade directly through the order book for a £66 per year sub. There are also options to trade US, Canadian and european stocks. They offer an ISA and SIPP account. I have never had an account with them but I have only ever heard good things about them other than they have a £60 account closure fee. It's something I would have looked into if I had just been using the investor method with perhaps the occasional trader trade but I think my next move will be to Interactive Brokers, but that's another story.
