How about you investigate options of different platforms and brokers.

Then:
(1) Use a test account
(2) Pro's and Con's for each platform
(3) Pro's and Con's for each broker

Do you really want to risk your money on hearsay...

You want a platform and broker to match your trading style!
- No point in going with a broker that cannot handle your amount of trading if your a scalper.
- No point in having a platform with heaps of features that's less reliable with a broker that has higher spreads or even commissions if you only trade by daily or weekly charts which requires a single trade less a few times a week or even at all.
