Boardcentral is a good way to visualize "public" interest in a particular stock. Note that by the time that bored central has it as a "popular discussion" that the "public" has already seen the news or whatever made the stock move. So your already late to the party by the time you see it on...

Ninjatrader also has market replay. There is a little reading involved to set it up correctly but ninja's website has all the support you need in their support section.

I never understood why people go to a prop. Why not just use forex or futures to get the leverage they seek? What justifies trading stocks intraday and paying a prop shop a % of gains over trading futures or forex and keeping 100% of what one makes? Is it supposedly easier to make money in...
