E trade give a wide variety of platforms to trade US stocks.At the other end of the scale they offer lightspeed that will let you capture spreads, see whats happening before it appears on a chart and has the fastest direct fills i've ever traded.No re quotes,bias,shenanigans,no payment for order flow like some cheap Internet brokers, here you are the market you work your own order.
Some may like the CFD oco order that lets you put in your stop and profit objective,walk away and do other things only to come back later and look at the outcome.For me its up to each individual trader to asses his/her own trading personality and pick the trading set up that suits,we are all different.Its nice i think to be offered a choice of trading platforms and be able to pick the one we want rather than just be lumbered with only one. 😀
