Surprising! Where did you get great reviews about Zecco? Anyway, world will be a different place if everyone think alike. (think about everyone wearing red shirt, blue trousers and driving yellow car). IB was my 5th broker and I never looked back. OH is also great and I guess hybrid...

It's your money so you can do whatever you want!! I felt that money management is somewhat tougher with less than 10K account. Remember, you can easily lose 20-50% of trade lot with options and your max risk should not be more than 2% of portfolio. How will you do it? Good luck.

MEMBER FIRM PROPRIETARY SLIDING SCALE (11): Above 950,000 2 cents So, someone will have to place 500+ contracts per trade on consistent basis to make them go in loss. Very unlikely.... Also routing kickback :-) Now it makes some business sense.... Still for high priced stocks/options...

This is a new information for me. Thanks for pasting the link, I'll check them. So guess a hybrid setup will work great. IB => small lot of stocks & options OH => big lot of stocks & options Cheers, - SU

THERE IS NO FREE LUNCH - SPECIALLY FROM A PROFIT MAKING ENTITY. *** THERE HAS TO BE A CATCH *** If you don't agree to this - you sure live in a dream world. Exchange charges per contract fee, so it is common sense that anyone giving you flat rate is relying on combination of...

If you ever traded these ETFs, make sure you check this. http://www.direxionfunds.com/pdfs/annual_report_043009.pdf Page #7 clearly states that money invested in FAZ/FAS lost more than 86% since inception (as of 04/30/2009). Forget about MATH of compounding and think over this 86% that...

These 3X ETFs are legal SCAM. Any sensible investor should avoid buying them. Avoid them in all conditions specially if you can't day-trade. Don't donate your hard earned money to these ponzi players (Direxion Funds). If you really need leverage, consider playing on XLF (or other SPDRs)...

Friend, check the risk reward graph for followings... * Covered Call * Naked Put They are exactly same... And you pay lower broker commission for naked PUT. Consider playing with this tool http://www.samoasky.com/ and please buy Mark's book "Options for Rookies". The examples given in...
