Best Trading Platform For Home Use?

[robertola]

I am thinking about trading at home in the evenings what is the best trading system to use and also most value for money.. it will be more of a hobby than career move so I wont be doing huge size initially as I know x trader is the best platform but is very expensive if only trading in 3-5 lots on a longer term basis!

I would appreciate your views!

Hi Robertola

Depends on your account balance.

If you have $5000 try using X Trader with Velocity Futures , the platform is F.O.C and RT are reasonable.

I am considering moving to Tradestation ( $5000 min ) 10 RT per month = free charting software and the front end looks pretty neat , it will allow bracket orders, trailing stops etc.

If you have a small balance to open Interactive Brokers "book trader" does the job but is basic
