I'm looking for a good quality stock broker with a platform that will allow me to use hot keys and bracket orders. I also need to be able to demo the software. Hot keys are not required but the bracket orders are a must. Just a general opinion on who i should go with that offers what i need would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys! btw i was recommend from another board to go with IB... but they don't offer demo. you have to open an account before ever trying their platform.
If you use IB, check out Bracket Trader. It's free for trade under 3 contracts. If you need to trade more contracts, or add/remove symbols, you need to register. Registration is $100.
Not true, they do have a demo but just keep in mind it is just that. The data is not accurate but most of the tools and functions can be viewed. Once you open an account, you can also open a parallel "paper trading" account (free) that uses live data for simulation/testing.
