Does anyone know if I may be able to open a brokerage account in the united states but living in Australia, to use in trading.

Are you a US resident or an Australian Resident? What is your actual situation? You may need to provide a lot more details if you want an accurate answer. As a lot of brokerage accounts in Australia allow you to trade US and other international shares and other markets.– user9822Sep 6, 2015 at 21:05

At some places yes, at others, no.
As noted in the article, I've heard [more] recently that TD Ameritrade will open accounts for non-US residents, probably excluding countries where they have separate sites, as long as the prospective client has the funds to put in the account.
