Thinkorswim's trading platform is an amazing combination between design and functionality. The platform has virtually anything you could want, including live CNBC, trade alerts, news feeds, and practically every technical indicator under the sun. This powerful functionality is then rolled into one eye friendly easy to use piece of software.

GFT's Dealbook 360 offers an intuitive trading environment with single click trading and easy limit order functionality. Included is the ability to customize and save different layouts for different style traders or monitor set ups.. It does have news feed, however the research and up to the minute analysis offered through the TOS platform is superior.

FXCM not only has a wide platform offering but their proprietary platforms offer a unique automated trading environment as well as good chart design and trade entry.
