Powerful trading tool with lots of options **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Balazs Z. | Data Engineer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 15, 2019 **What do you like best about Active Trader Pro?** Access to options data and tools to review potential options strategies. Active Trader Pro provides with tools to pick the most profitable strategies. Ability to link charts to show the same ticker from different time perspective. The ability to overlay chart events within the chart with explanation about the particular event. **What do you dislike about Active Trader Pro?** Active Trader Pro only provides mediocre L2 access. You have very poor visibility of the books. They also don't dive into details about it and they don't provide you with tools to benefit from it. Advanced trade automation or algorithmic trading is virtually non-existent on the platform. **Recommendations to others considering Active Trader Pro:** Take advantage of the free trial period that Fidelity offers. If you commit to make 30 trades within a calendar year you can use the software for free. **What problems is Active Trader Pro solving and how is that benefiting you?** I gained superb visibility into my positions and it allows me to dive into a deeper analysis of market trends. It makes it easier to do technical (or any kind of semi-serious) analysis. The visualizations are on par with any other trading tools and definitely much better than Fidelity's online platform. Interactions with the charts could be improved by allowing mouse brush based dynamic time-frame selection. ### 8. Simple....
