Lightspeed Platform

Im looking into the lightspeed trading platform for my DMA equity trading. I have used Etrade (what a fucking joke), and interactive brokers for equity trading but neither of them are a real good full platform for active traders.

This is a stretch but does anyone have any experience with lightspeed?

I don't, but are you only doing equities? If you are doing futures etc, check out velocity futures, it comes with X_Trader free which is pretty nice.

Yeah I am looking for the best equity platform. I use Xtrader via velocity for my futures trading. Great platform and great broker. Ninja trader is also an awesome futures platform and has some amazing features with the automated trading and trading reports but you really cant beat Xtrader for futures execution.
