Anyone know this platform or use it?
it is from
http://www.visionlp.com/
The platform is very decent and apparently supports a chain of futures IB's with decent commission. I hear that they will soon offer securities access.

I have been running the trial and while it looks OK I do get a lot of error messages - VE seems to want some connection with Internet Explorer, which I don't use for the usual security reasons.
Also difficult to move stops with VE (or at least I find it difficult) and as moving stops is a frequent activity for me that does tend to rule out VE.
PFG's BEST platform is pretty good.

thanks for the feedback
what struck me is that it is free and you can enter spreads (!) + they have a real desk more than IB can say...
might want to try VisionPro maybe less error msgs for a price...

Hi TradingCoach,
I have tried a heap of order platforms (based on my own requirements for end-of-day futures orders) and VE was the most buggy, which is usually a mark of poor software design. I liked the all-in-one nature of the beast but not the bugs. PFG's BEST Direct and the Open E-Cry platform were the most reliable, while Lind Express came in a close third.
Platforms in this range are usually free so there is nothing unusual in that.
