Fidelity's 0 Commission Platform, what are the cons?

ATP is a cartoon. I have a current gen Mac Pro ($15K tower build) and it runs like it's on an XT-machine. I wouldn't clear Fido at gunpoint.

That's funny, I wondered how a pro felt about Fido!

I used to trade on IB tws for years and it's the best platform, period.

I'm now using fidelity the last couple of years, doing lots of trades on ATP workstation and highly recommend it. They have hands-down the BEST customer service, I've called dozens of times and their team is worldclass.

Cons: not nearly as many features as tws, more basic, not as compact. Works fine, instant fills, I daytrade OTO orders on it frequently. Definitely fine for daytrading stocks, plus 0 commissions are saving me thousands of $

I kinda feel the same, seems like i'm saving a lot on executions.
