@osehill most brokers have their platforms. For example Questrade has iq edge which is free to use with an account. Only thing you'll have to keep in mind with questrade is that the data plans (level 2) isnt free, it's a monthly cost. I think Thinkorswim (platform) is free with a TD account but to open it i think the minimum is 5k. But I think market data is free, someone else could confirm this?

Thanks Mickd! I will stick with Questtrade

@SArtAndPlay the minimum amount you need to have to have free level 2 market data with thinkorswim is 5000$. Well that's what they told me when I called last month

Depends on the broker.

try open an acct with td ameritrade and then download their free TOS platform

What do you do with a falling knife?

Do exactly that....

I still dont understand how this works. Hoping to play catch up with the other smart folks on this journey!
