IME..i have limited real funds. Therefore I use Interactive Brokers For options .$ 0.75 per contract PER SIDE min amt per side is $1 . So per round turn for 1 contract = $2.00 as opposed to OptionXpress = 14.95x2= $29.90 Are u still suing Think-or-Swim orOptionsXpress?

Yes, I'm still using ThinkOrSwim (TOS). Yeah, OX is quite heavy if you have less than 10 contracts to trade. I took TOS because of their free real-time trading platform. I love their support too. They keep updating the software.. ever since I became their customer, they upgraded TOS with paper trading software (called PaperMoney) and also added TOS Charts (professional charting feature). They allow customers who switch from other brokers like OX to use back their old broker's rates. I think that's great. The only downside to it is that the trailing stop loss is fixed and not in percentages. Psst... TOS's minimum deposit is $3k, but after I talked to their support.. the TOS guys let me open an account for less. hehe. Hi, thanks for visiting my site.
