Stock trading platforms

There are a lot of different stock trading platforms in the world. I have personally used several online stock trading platforms (available through a Web browser), direct access trading platforms and currency trading platforms.

I developed my personal ratings for online stock trading platforms for my private purposes. Now, I would like to share my experiences with some stock trading software

Number one are direct access trading platforms

Stock trading for profit must be done professionally. And professionals use direct access stock trading platforms. This type is not only the best day trading platform but also very good software for swing trading.

These are based on a Web browser are good only for position trading and longer term trading. They do not allow a quick reaction, and so they aren’t good for a short-term trading style.

My favourite trading platforms

I personally use Peak access as my favorite direct access stock trading software. It fits my needs as a swing trader. Several other traders have told me that it could also be the best day trading platform. Well, I don’t want to say that it’s best since it’s very subjective. But I think it’s really good.

I also have experience with the trading workstation from Interactive Brokers. I personally don’t like to use this direct access trading software. I like to use some front end like Quotetracker to manage trades on an Interactive Brokers account.

If you’re thinking about European stock trading , try Saxotrader from Saxobank. It’s really good software if not one the best Forex online platforms for trading.
