Pilar:
Contact E-Trade directly to see what you need to do to have them allow you to trade in the overseas markets. THEY are your one and only reliable source of good information. Anyone else's views/opinions/advice are worth what you pay for them.. i.e. Nothing.
go out to Etrade.com and search for Overseas trading or send them an email asking about it.

(P.S. this advice also cost you nothing.)
