Well there is a big difference between High Frequency Trading which is computer automated and Day Trading which can be manual. Since you ask for the later I assume it is manual trading which is a totally different story. I think most people pick their brokers first based on commissions & products/services offered then use the software that is offered unless it is horrible. Charting of course you can use your own, eSignal or whatnot. You might want to take a look at NinjaTrader though.
Is it true that LightSpeed will be intergrating Anvil into their product? If so, does anyone have some sort of timeline to completion?
I have heard that LS will be integrating Anvil into their product and that the process should be completed by year end.
I have narrowed down the firms I am interested in joining, but before i make my decision, I am interested in the opinions of all the pro trading platforms out there. Specifically for equity traders. Sterling Lightspeed Laser Redi Blackwood ML X-Trade MBT Pro InstaQuote.......etc. Also, if you are aware of any that I have not listed please include them.
i have used Anvil, LS and Laser. Right now our group has Sterling, LS and Laser with very competitive rates. Waiting for LS to incorporate Anvil and see the result.
Yes, I imagine there will be some issues and bugs to fix at the onset. But I am very excited to see the result of the integration. \ Would like to know some thoughts on blackwood pro if anyone out there is using their new release.
