Most brokers have very good trade execution software.

There are only a handful of stock brokers that have execution platforms that offer order-cancels-order type controls and other contingent orders. I’ve looked at several forex-based platforms, and forex brokers place a premium on putting high levels of functionality into traders’ hands. This makes business sense – if you find it easier to execute your strategy, you’re likely to trade more often. This is one area where the equities world could learn a thing or two from their forex counterparts.
