Somehow NorthWestern Trading and DirectNet Trading are related -- possibly even run by the same guy. Both companies are in the Washington (Redmond/Issaquah) area. I have been talking to them for awhile trying to get an account setup. I just faxed them the final docs tonight and waiting to see...

Also, I just heard about tradelog (http://www.armencomp.com/) and it supports many different brokers, including IB and oX. However, I am unsure if it recognizes and accurately calculates returns for option strategies. Anyone have experience with this?

Any suggestions on trade performance software to track various option strategies (covered calls, calendar spreads, straddles, etc.) in multiple Interactive Broker and optionsXpress accounts. I really would like a tool that will match my trades and recognize the strategies to give me accurate...
