I have never seen a professional trading platform and doubt it that such exists for the public.

All those mentioned in this thread are just for playing where 99% will blow up your account, the rest 1% will probably work somewhat profitable most of the time in a semi-automatic manner.

If you are essentially a retail trader -- as I am -- you will probably end up trading with retail tools. At the point you have system that requires better tools you must either invest in them or stick to something simpler. For my purposes Sierra Charts works fine but I am the furthest thing fom automated.

No one asks what glove to buy to make the major leagues. I'm not suggesting it is a real comparison but make yourself a solid AA ballplayer before you take on Goldman, Miller Tabak et al.

i had a quick question regarding automating options. it seems everyone is using IB for automating an options strategy. I have a working C# options strategy which I plug at a different brokerage but the fees are just too high. I am looking for a new firm other than IB. Any suggestions? Any options brokerage that has an API interface (automated).

Few years ago Optionshouse was the only broker that had commissions cheap enough to keep my strategy profitable.

Used to volume 1000+ contracts and pay 10 cents and no flat fee.
They only had web based trading back then. I think the commission is still not bad.

They have come up with a actual platform, you can check with them if they plan to introduce API.
