Are you going to use forex?
I looked at the reviews of sites you linked a while back, but really, only the dissatisfied customers opined. To be expected I suppose. I will likely load into a forex account this week- would really like my SDS shares to come home early this week, before cashing some out.

Dsn,
Not likely..their spreads are terrible and I really didnt like how I clicked on a pair to get a chart and it tossed me short and I got killed.
There is stuff I dont like about FXCM too, I like Forex chart integration in the platform and the layout, and I like the white background versus black. I also dont like how FXCM pays by check and that takes 3-4 weeks, what is that about? I want to wire in, wire out like a normal place..funds in one day, funds out and back to me in one day, no monkey business.

Yeah- I'm not sold on them either- they STILL call my house and cell wondering when I'm going to fund my account- a bit too anxious in my opinion. I guess the question remains- if not there, then where?
I'm not really comfortable wiring money overseas- not sure when I will get payouts. I think Forex or FXCM are the big boys domestically- still waiting for now, but if I had to I would go with Forex just because they are a big operation ( at least seem that way ) and I would think payouts wouldn't be a big deal- plus Alexa ( my personal account manager ) and I have "bonded". 
At least it seems that way as many times as we have talked on the phone about my practice account.

Another thing- regarding this quote of yours- In the Forex "training" sections, they recommend practicing for 6 months before opening an account- but give you, what, 4-6 weeks, with the practice account, and pressure you to start as soon as you sign up- just a little too much too soon for me.

I dont know if they offer the streaming news on FXCM.....daily fx.com does have alot of info though and those instructor forums are pretty cool
Top left on FXCM platform you click on system.....then click on options.....you can change the view of everything from there....charts page layout everything

Forex just has the best charts...maybe its just because i developed my little system using these chrts but i really like them...the spreads on here can be pretty sick at times but for the most part they are usually no more than 1-3 pips off the pairs i trade....
I noticed last week when USD/CAD had a wide spread it was also extra wide on FXCM....i mean how much difference will it make in the long run???You are either making good trades or youre not right?

I signed up for ACM and tried the java platform I didnt like it so I downloaded the "T" platform and am customizing it..so far so good.
One thing I notice so far is that the available pairs here is more than at the other two, I just have to remember the pairs I used to follow closely with Forex.

More comments..
The one click execution is not what I was accustomed to and I made a few mistakes trying to experiment.
ACM also doesnt have trade off charts options, they also dont have the auto-update (that I can find) where if you average into a position that the GTC quantity updates..thats a bother.
I also cannot find a way to create a separate console for charts alone, maybe there is one, I dont see it yet..so now if I want charts they are floating around the console.
Many pairs are moving up big with the stock market..
