It changed my life. I’ve used StreetSmartPro, Scottrade, Fidelity, Ameritrade and Interactive Brokers. Nothing beats ThinkOrSwim.

They have the best charts. An video/audio presentation everyday (9:15AM-11:30AM and 1:30PM – 4:00PM) every day.

Great trading platform. Many features.

I went from an investor to a trader with them. I couldn’t be happier.

If ThinkOrSwim is not what you want, look at only “Software” based brokers like;
TradeStation
Interactive Broker
