Trading international options from Australia

[tradeanalyzer]

This question is about the best broker in AUSTRALIA (such as IB , SAXO, IG etc) to trade international options. For trading SP500 Index options strategies such as strangle/straddle, which is the best broker who allows collateralized margin also with low fees?

For example, we invest into ETFs and use that investment as a margin for trading options and also hold some cash for handling MTM losses. While I am doing DYOR, I also want to collect feedback/suggestions from fellow traders. Thanks.

Also is there any regulations in Australia that I need to comply with for entering into Options trading in international markets?

Note: I have read a lot of no good stories about trading options in Australia based brokers or in ASX (illiquidity issue etc) ; so seeking advice about how to enter into the options selling business in Australia.

if there are no better ways to trade international stock/index options, forex pairs such as EUR/USD AUD/USD can be traded for options with above said conditions (collateralized margin and trade Forex options?)

From my experience and from what you say you want, IB.

There may be others, but none are australian-based.
