I thoroughly enjoyed the breadth, knowledge, and accuracy of your perspective. As others have asked, I would really enjoy a video in which you show how you USE the platforms differently. For instance, why you pay for esignal when? you can place trades more easily from TS. Or how you place trades at IB using Ninja trader to chart IB data. Thank you again for your very helpful video.
Thanks for the video, it was helpful, was considering Tradestation based on a? recommendation I got from someone, however after reviewing their fee structure I am still looking around.
First it was stocks, then housing, now it’s gold, the gold rush is happening right now and you can take advantage of this very easily by trading gold just like you would trade stocks, and make a fortune doing so. Come check out? our free demonstration coming up, google “Gold Trading Academy” and let us show you what we have to offer you and how trading gold is where the gold rush is.
Thankyou very much for the content, i am interested in what? you would reccomend as a good amount is for starting capital.
Thank you for this very informative comparison. I have IB now and after watching? this video, I don’t think I have to give tradestation a try at all. And also thanks for telling us that we can use Ninja Trader with our IB feed, did not know that!
Great video, there is indeed a major lack of comparison on trading platforms out there. I have had to temporarily? pay for several now to really figure out their pros and cons. I am now with IB, very happy but agree charting sucks. Easily solved once I find the right complementary charting system – thanks for the NT tip!
Wow, excellent video, thank? you so much
Thanks from the? UK
A good and objective review of some basic? features
Great video! Thanks? from Stockholm, Sweden
I would like to see of ths guys videos. He is really easy to listen to, and he is funny. Great video. i Would to see a video of you trading. You just trade and talk about stuff. And the just upload the videos one at a time, lots of? 15 min videos, just do like part 1 part2 etc etc

great review. Interactive brokers is my? only choice as a european investor wanting to invest in american stocks. Highly recommended, because they have banks both in europe and america, and you can save a LOT of money by wiring to their local banks. HIGHLY recommended because of that
Thanx for putting this on. I too am using other charting in place of the lame IB screens. Think or Swim charts are far better and they have all feeds for free too including forex, futures etc. There is trade imbalance info (mentioned not written) on? one of their “vocal” feeds. The free market cast from the trading floor is a nice touch if you can stand the horse-race tone of the barker. I’ll listen on a huge market swing day but that’s all I can stand. Open ToS with a cash acct for real time.
Great video.? How about a follow-up from where you left off. Any history with MedaStock?
I really like the IB trading platform but am looking for a great charting program to day trade the? forex. I currently use a Bloomberg terminal which has great charting but it is very expensive and unless you are a professional trader or a bank, it is not worth it. out of Tradestation, E-signal, or ninja trader, which do you recommend is the best for intraday trading? thanks for the video also.
Thanks for clearing things up! Interactive Brokers and ESignal it is then
Which is? the best for Forex?
Thank you for this very informative review, it helps a lot. There really should? be more of these.
Thanks! Excellent review. ?
Great review! You talked about NinjaTrader and eSignal but I was curious to? know if you have ever used Metastock and what your take on it is.
Very helpfull thankyou verymuch for your effort to put this out for people to? see:))
Thanks? for the advice
Howard, great video. Do you have any experience with RediPlus? I have not been able to find a review that shows the ins and? outs. It would be great to have a comparison between Redi and IB.
Tradestaion platform is written in C, which makes it really stable. All the other brokages platforms are witten in Java, that is why they are all over the place!
When you are trading, the last thing you want? to do is fight with your charts!
Thanks for the video
