Etrade good for IRA accounts and long trades. Etrade is limited in shorts. IB is a good solid broker with better borrows for shorts. More professional and it has higher requirements. If you like Pink sheets and OTC, Speedtrader has good feeds for that. If you want to be hardcore trader (need over 30-40k) then go with a real direct access broker like Centerpoint Lightspeed, etc...

If you like futures trading the most common is Ninja Trader. Stage 5 is becoming popular recently. AMP Trading and Global Futures are old favorites too.

@Baruch just became a fully transparent trader today!
TDAmeritrade offer papertrading and so does Interactive brokers. TDs data is lagged but with IB you can paper trade with non lagged data as long as your account is approved and funded.
ThinkorSwim platform through TDAmeritrade. Just fund a small live account and get free live streaming data.
Thank you.
