Hi Paul,
I was into options trading quite a while back. I enjoyed it a lot and loved the maths behind it all. Had to give it up as I didn't have enough bank behind me to keep up with subscription and trading fees.
For options trading, you'll need real-time data and you can only get that in Australia with a paid subscription. Our market is too small for organisations to give out free real-time data.
If you're doing shares then you'll be able to get away with delayed data.
The platform I used was called Pulse. It was recommended by the trading desk that I used and I didn't research others at all. It had everything I needed for my limited beginners skills but was also used by the more experienced traders that I spoke to at the time.
Good luck with it all. It is a lot of fun.
Cheers,
Dan
