These two seem to be the two platforms I enjoy the most. The reason I am debating between these two is the Level 2 box. That box is the style I seek for a level 2, and the platform is easy to use, unlike TWS and TOS. I am a day trader, typically my size in a position is 1000 shares. I love to short. I execute around 5 trades a day (i.e. 10,000 shares in total for the day). I trade between 9:30-11:00am. I only trade stocks. I have demoed both, but a two week demo doesn't tell me if there are underlying problems. Does/has anyone had problems with either platform being slow with the Level 2, or crashing, or not receiving proper fills?
