I checked buttontrader.
Anyone had any expericen with them?
I don't like the idea of open my account through a third-party soft with a lousy webpage like they have.

Chauncey, give Eliot Wickersheimer a call at Mirus. You'll love the Ninja platform fed by zenfire... trust us on that. Very important bonus is a live trade desk where helpful, courteous brokers answer on the first or second ring when online goes offline for whatever reason.
I also trade thru a different broker with a rather large managed account for personal friend, and the difference is monumental in execution. Said friend won't move his account, very frustrating using a vastly inferior platform alongside my own.
No affiliation or reward on my part from Mirus, just a highly satisfied customer.

Button trade is an App linking to IB... Dont bother whitelabeling your IB account, go direct.
NinjaTrader is a nice platform....
There are a ton of apps out there for you to try...
