+1

But I've had my fair share of data problems on tradestation. Specifically after big announcements followed by insane volume moves.

Another idea is NinjaTrader with a specific data feed. I really like their charts, and it's really easy to use. You could combine that with a broker like Infinity, interactive brokers, etc.

For other brokers, Zeroline trader provides good functionality.
FYI, Infinity futures has just released a new platform on 11/17. It is "ATV3".
I haven't used it , but Infinity's previous platform was excellent, quick and the data is firstrate.
There are other decent platforms, but this will get you started.

Is interactive brokers Trade Workstation free ?

Yes, this is how you enter orders with IB if you don't use any 3rd party order management applications. Of course you would need an account with them to use it.
