[TradeTune]

Hi, good day.

I'm just few months to trading again and Currently using IB and TS. It's not specific question but for my general knowledge. What are other adanced Trading plateforms that has a brokerage company behind them.

AFAIK these brokerage are very well known. Not in any order ....
1-IB TWS
2-Trading Technologies TT & X_Trader
3-Tradestation Ver.10
4-Light speed Sterling Trader Pro and Eze EMS Pro ( not sure which is better and seems Non has automation and testing features )
5-Think or swim

Not sure which are direct ECN from above, and what other Plateforms are there in the market ?

I didn't include Ninja trader, as their brokerage is too small (finanical Strenght of company) and read that their backtesting reliability is a question.

#4. I assume this is from the Lightspeed Website. When you break it down to "advanced Trading platforms " that term is a little too vague and subjective. All three of these are designed for fast order entry, choice of routing, and choice of order types. They all have the ability to set up hotkeys. And, they all have available APIs. None are designed to do backtesting. https://www.lightspeed.com/platform-comparison/. Feel free to contact me directly for more information on these or the other software we offer. IMO, it is not about finding the "best" or "most advanced". It is about finding the best solution for your trading business.

I know you asked about trading platforms that have a broker behind them, but here is a partial list of of some advanced platforms that are not broker specific. What great about many of these is if you change brokers, you can still use these platforms and they offer some advanced stuff as well.
