Big companies that have been around and are regulated by the NFA and all that, aren't going to steal your money. Just be wary of small, unheard of outfits that haven't been given the stamp of approval.
It's the trader, not the platform IMO. Personally, I haven't had much of a problem with delays or execution.
Here's my mentored student's stats day trading the /ES using the thinkorswim platform.
He's missing the average profit factor of his trades but I think the rest speaks for itself.
This is with 2 lots maximum. All in all out and all in, scale out.
Due to time constraints, please do not PM me if your question can be resolved or answered on the forum.
Need help? 1) Stop changing things. No new indicators, charts, or methods. Be consistent with what is in front of you first. 2) Start a journal and post to it daily with the trades you made to show your strengths and weaknesses. 3) Set goals for yourself to reach daily. Make them about how you trade, not how much money you make. 4) Accept responsibility for your actions. Stop looking elsewhere to explain away poor performance. 5) Where to start as a trader? Watch this webinar and read this thread for hundreds of questions and answers. 6) Help using the forum? Watch this video to learn general tips on using the site.

Shocked at your comments after everything this industry has gone through.

If I could figure out how to transfer my scripts to ninja, I would definitely be checking out Optimus, Matt.
I've given it a few attempts but with no luck so far. The main reason I want to try ninja is to run

I appreciate the opportunity and definitely look forward to having you one day. I work with a few guys that I trust could help you with the code transition. All rule based systems could be potentially programmed in c#.
Additionally, Optimus now offers hosting solution in both Chicago and the new Aurora center.

I think that was the concern of the original post that I was responding to
