Equity Platforms for Professionals

[Curve]

Coming from a futures & structured products background I have no idea where to go for the best stock trading platform. I'm looking for recomendations. Looking for level II, strategy tcker database (perhaps insight), time & sales, charting AND open book.

thinkorswin liquid is pretty good for options and stocks, ask them to match IB's commission rates.

I use X trader for futures but was considering a move to RedSky to keep it all in one place. Any information would be helpful on their futures & equities platform.

Care to offer any insight as to why the switch to equities. Many here have moved away from equities to futures.

I trade interest rate futures & bonds. I'm not switching from futures to equities - I'm adding equities. I suppose the only thing I'm leaving behind is a market-neutral strategy. Cant imagine not trading E$, ZF & ZN - with the recent news ZT is back in play as well.
