Simple gui with lots of customizability and has all the various stats and charts to check on stocks and options. Pretty much everything you need. I have not used other platforms but many reviews showed this platform to be one of the better ones with more...

The user experience is not all that great. It is hard to find what you're looking for and I wish there were more options for research and analytics. It would be great if there was a mobile version.

It is a commercial platform for investing in stocks, I like it because I can analyze the market and I have advice from expert people who are always in the chat helping others, I like that it has integration with all the operating systems on the market.

It is a limited, almost basic software that seems well-designed to prevent the trader from having the necessary tools to beat the market without having to resort to other platforms or addons.
