Re: Which Trading Platform is Better..I Need Play Money to Trade

The platform depends on what type of trader you are. If you are a technical trader, you'll want superior charting capabilities like you get with tradestation or ESignal.
If you are a fundamental trader, and all you are doing is entering orders, just about any platform will do.
Find some demo and free trial offers and check out the common features to see what design you like.
