Nice platform but horrible commission. Just use their software but trade elsewhere. For futures, I recommend AMP Futures. For Options, IB is good enough I would think.
What's Advantage of trading futures with AMP ? how long they have been around, is it a solid company to trust ?

Anyone using Fidelity Wealth-Lab Pro strategy builder ?

None of those brokers have a soul. They are self-absorbed and not customer-centric. They are part of the old-school, institutional brigade and will probably hand you a cheque and term deposit book upon signing up. You are lucky to be their customer, upon approval of course and will pay higher fees for this privilege. They are laggards, not innovators. They market towards mum and pop investors and will promote mutual funds to you. You are likely to lose money with them simply because they are your broker, and the whole investing experience feels limited and demoralizing.

1) in my experience, TD has the fastest execution among SCHW, ETR, Fidelity, but poor customer service.
2) Fidelity quotes are delayed. it seems they're not very honest broker.
3) SCHW has the worst user interface. I sent countless suggestions over the years, but fell on the deaf ears. Though they have free checking accnt + free ATM. they also pay every good interest on your money (probably, they might charge high margin rate on the other end). Sometimes, I had a feeling I traded against the house (SCHW).

The Strategy Builder a.k.a. "Strategy From Rules" is a powerful and flexible instrument. It lets you create a trading strategy with drag and drop from hundreds of rules and indicators. Supported are conditional rules, multiple open positions, various entry and exit types, and even "fuzzy logic" via flexible Multi-Condition rules.

Thank you for insight. Simply Wealth Lab or Tradestation ?
 
Also charles Schwap is going to buy TD Ameritrade. And Morgan Stanley is going to buy E*Trade soon. So it leave you with fidelity and Charles Schwap only.
 
My vote naturally goes for Wealth-Lab :D
