Hi everybody, I'm relatively new on the trading online world and I would like to have a suggestion regarding the trading platform to use. I prevalently use Interactive Brokers but I also own other accounts and I would like to use all of them with a single software, instead of learning how to use several different platforms for every broker I trade with. Does anybody know a trading platform which is able to use data for more than one broker? And which is the best in your opinion?

I'm trying to cut down on the learning curve and would appreciate any 'best practices' (get up and running the easy way) that anyone might have. I have coding, professionally, but got use to coding in tradestation, but I'd like to switch platforms if I can get the coding side down. Thanks

Currency Trading Platforms come in many varieties, with web based and downloadable applications that can be accessed from a home computer or mobile device. These often include charting software and news feeds for active traders.

Does anyone know of any proprietary trading firms that allow their traders to use the Think or Swim (TOS) platform? Any financial instrument is fine, stocks, futures, forex etc...

I'm trying to dig into the Sterling Pro platform to see how suitable it is for for me trading and I'm not finding the doc on there site terribly useful so i thought I'd run through TL just to see if anybody has some experience with it and get the good, bad and other... I currently use Tradestation, primarily because of the investment I've made in custom indicators (and because I am familiar with it). For doing a variety of day/scalp trades. As they are no where near perfect I primarily use TS for there charting and run enough trades through to not have to pay platform feeds. What I have not seen in Sterling Pro is anything the equivalent to Bracket or other types of conditional orders. From what I have been able to pick up there support for automated trading is based on slower technology. Again, if anyone has experience with the platform I would like to know what your experience has been and how you were using it (eg type of trading/security). Thanks

After paper trading (again) for some time, I'm evaluating brokers/platforms. Using the TWS feed for the first time (with ZeroLine trader front end) it looked like WWIII had broken out on the YM contract. 1m bars were ranging 100 ticks. My buy stop netted 400 ticks in 5 minutes! Woohoo! Sadly, not only was the range offset from reality by ~ 1000 ticks, the volume of each bar was almost identical, a la constant range/volume bars. As far as I know demo data is delayed, but the YM September contract had the correct time stamp on the T&S. Are they using fantasy data? I made a movie this morning of TOS vs. IB Dom and T&S. I'd appreciate a nudge in the right direction if I've completely missed the boat on this. It's difficult to make a meaningful eval under these conditions. http://www.screencast.com/users/Brookwood/folders/Jing/media/58abed6a-5d6a-4f47-a04f-786ac75fce50
