DAT For Canadians - Is there such a things as A good Firm In Canada

Quote from Twinky:

Well, Pro Trade did give me access to that other platform, its called WEX - Wolverine Execution Services.

Once again nothing special, charts suck....


Im starting to really just lean towards ninja trader e signal.

Does anyone know of anyother front end software that just replaces the brokers default platform?

Twinky - you can manage your IB orders via QuoteTracker or eSignal... QuoteTracker also allows you to manager TradeFreedom orders..

Try a Google search. There are lots of them. Also try a search here. There are hundreds of posts describing the good and bad points for all the major front-ends.

If you're actually serious, and you're in Canada, and you're not looking for a prop deal, you'll be with IB soon enough.
 
Quote from Twinky:

I tried both of them

IB is garbage.... come on.. Java....



And Think or swim is descent but functionality is poor.

Im on the hunt for a platform that runs like Terra Nova Trade Station, but will actually let Canadians in...


You'll learn newb.
 
I think your first worry should be, can you make a consistant profit....IB will be sufficient to test any of your methods whether it be with real money or simulated trading.

Can you be more specific.
What exactly do you want the front end to do.

I've tried TF QT and a couple of the Banks and IB is by far the best. The only drawback is no Registered accounts.

IBs Canadian customer service seems to be way better than the US counterpart. I've rarely had to contact them but have never had any problem when i did.
 
Interactive Brokers is pretty good. Fast and good commissions.


Couple draw backs:

No RRSP accounts

If trading you might want front end to it (Bracket Trader).

If you want good graphs then use QuoteTracker with it.

Thanks Larry you beeat me to the punch line, i just dont like Ib's software, i want GREAT graphs to work off, thats what i use to make my decisions so they better be good, Questrades were Garbage and i lost some money because they lagged and were very poor to work with.
