You guys are getting ripped off. Go for MINC, save yourself heaps and trade professionally (like a broker). $200,000 worth of trades per day cost $33 brokerage. Thats 0.0165% brokerage or 7 x cheaper than commsec. They have a special on atm of $17 per 200k, or 15 x cheaper than commsec.
I have used lots of iress platforms before and I can tell you MINC's Iress platform is the best. Leaves NAB prof., or Commsec Protrader for dead. Your trades are placed interactively. Meaning you right click on the charts, market depth or watchscreens to make trades. So your eyes never leave the live data or the charts. Moving a position up or down is just a right mouse click away on the market depth or open trades and the price movement is instant.
You are charged by eod contract. That means you can push the buy or sell buttons as many times as you like intraday at 12 different price levels and you only get charged $33 for 200k worth of trades.
Going for the others is just throwing away 1,000s in brokerage and getting a slower inferior platform with stone age trading pads and html pages.
