Have been using their platform for several years now. This is pretty good: personal.fidelity.com

Fido's advanced trading platform is called "Active Trader Pro". I think it's not that great, the charts are far less useful than StockCharts.com. Execution is usually fair-good, though in "fast market conditions" they've been known to get swamped. Obtaining shares to short is definitely a weak spot. Strengths are that they don't have a proprietary trading department, therefore are less likely to do stupid things with or to yer money. Their funds used to be topnotch, now clearly not so. Fees/commissions are good-excellent. They've managed to not piss me off enough to leave (though they've come close a couple times).
