This is a thread for disccusions on what brokers one should choose.
Greggie go here (https://www.cybertrader.com/GettingStarted/GuestRegistration.aspx?secure=y&DT=S) and try out this platform first. You get a 30 day free trial to check it out. It has tons of stuff, which in our humble opinion is the best we have seen. The platform is Cybertrade Pro.
Also if you could provide more details on what type of trading you will do. How many trades a month? penny stock? All stock? Futures?
The demo is the exact same product of the original platform and it also allows you to paper trade based off a day or two old data.
Let us know. :D
