What does that mean? Front end?
Never had a broker or anybody ask me if I wanted "front end" when I opened a stock trading account. Front end?

The interface you use to execute trades. Some brokers have multiple choices.

For example: Ninja Trader, ButtonTrader, ZLT, CQGtrader, XTrader, many, many others. Each has pros/cons. Said brokers allow you to demo these front ends before you ever open an account with them.
