    RIP Thinkorswim

    http://www.chicagosean.com/2011/10/01/when-great-brands-go-bad-a-day-in-the-life-of-a-reluctant-td-ameritrade-customer/ I’ve been a staunch supporter of their platform since the very first day I became a customer and would recommend them to every person that inquired of me who to select...

    TOS/TDA down again. :(

    I loved TOS and the TOS platform, and every growing library of screencasts, demos, and mobile options. But since the TDA takeover, there's no more monthly updates to the TOS platform :-( . I do not see a future here.

    Cell phones to gain wireless access to Brokerage Account

    I use e-Trade's own software for Blackberry (8703, about 24 months old). I can toggle between charts in a web browser, and the native trading application. bb is great for data, lousy for voice. I'm on Sprint. I'd recommend finding a borker which offers a native bb trading program.
