There is subtle difference between each platform so its worth checking a few different ones if you intend to do a lot of volume over time, for the ad-hoc amounts i do its not something i really look at most of the spreads a very similar from one platform to the next and alot are floating spreads rather than fixed so its hard to say which is better than another at any one time.PeterLe wrote: Is there much difference between the spreads with these trading platforms ie Is there a prefered platform for value?

I think a few platforms do charge a small fixed commission on stocks so scalping these could become costly - so its worth shopping around depending on what type of trading your going to do.
Another thing to look for is the leverage you get with each platform typically it can be between 1:100 and 1:500 so you can profit much more with a higher leverage but also lose more if the wheels fall off a trade.
