Slickest Looking Trading Platform

[HappyTrader]

When it comes to trading platforms, there's lots of choices out there... but which one looks the slickest, the sexist, the: It's so pretty, intuitive, aesthetically laid out I actually enjoy staring at it all day.

And not *JUST* for Day Trading, or Charting... but for everything...

I'm working on TWS, it has the functionality but is not what I would call 'attractive'. So I'm looking for alternatives.

Any suggests?

Here is a story for you. About 20 years ago I was a technician at a car dealership. The guys with the pretty 20k Snap-On toolboxes were generally not the best mechanics. Cool story. Right?

OP, you wanna be pretty or profitable?

Most are very customizable, so it's really up to you.

For now, NinjaTrader seems to suit my purposes just fine.

Hire Programmers to make your own.

I had programmers build mine, don't look pretty but does pretty things like take fourteen years of tick data be able to backtest without doing them one at a time cause of contract months, it can optimize too. It will do nearly whatever I want to do or imagine and I can drag and drop different management tools into risk management for trades I take manually and automate exits. Only thing it won't do is stir my coffee. I will take UGLY everyday and twice on Sunday.

You want function not form. If you're more interested in the appearance of your trading platform rather than how capable it is you're already screwed.

All brokers essentially do the same main things and have the same functions;
spend your time instead thinking about your gameplan.

Both. No reason one should sacrifice one for the other.
