There is another thread on multicharts under platforms, there is good info on using multiple data feeds, etc. I'll just comment that if you are primarily swing trading and you want to trade currencies, then I would recommend using Interactive Brokers. The only downside is they don't offer historical tick data, so you have to leave your computer running, but unfortunately they also close you out once a day unless you are at your computer to change the time. For the most part it's not a big deal, but sometimes you will miss it and lose tick data. Otherwise commissions and fills are good, support is good, reliability is excellent, and you are trading real currencies, so you don't have to worry about getting screwed by your broker. You could also split your bankroll and have a dedicated futures broker and use IB for currencies, stocks, etc. to get the best commissions and mitigate your risk. I think some other people here also use MB Trading, which so far I have only heard good things about.
