I THINK THE BEST MOVE IS TO SIGN UP AND USE THE SIMULATOR. I did not wish to do it but it is painless and maybe just what you want to see.
(Note, when you are a user of any of these platforms, you usually can set them up any way you want to. I used to trade with one Trade Open, set up a certain custom way i like, then i changed it long ago and use Two Trading setups in one systems with multiple charts for each Trading setup. for a while i even had 3 going. But i now only use, i say only use two. As i also watch Dialogue rooms, usually two up at a time with access to others, and 4 email systems operating off of different sound noises. And of course i have immediate access via favorites to the websites iHubs "chichi2".) So the clutter of it all, i cut back on the number of LII Trading Windows to 2, where i can see real time trading, with MMs identified with queues. On the platform i have lots of choices if you run the simulator i think you will see the common ones on most platforms. Watch Lists, NewHighs/Lows, News, Screener facilities on the platform, all kinds of charts and ways of customizing them with indicator, and on and on....
This StreetSmartPro is the same platform used at the subsidiary Cybertrader too which tends to have more semi pro and pro traders, than the main company, they get less support, and functions so they can trade Futures too. http://www.cybertrader.com/
