I wouldn't mind it either. I got f---ed in the halt. I was going to do a quick daytrade on the put options during the plummet and it halted within 11 seconds of my execution. I needed another 5 seconds or so to get rid of the puts, instead I got stuck with worthless crap because of the bs halt...

Slightly inaccurate. They will not file for approval until Q4 and they (on the call the other day) wouldn't get any more specific than that. They were asked directly if when they say Q4 they mean more like Oct 1st or Dec. 31st and they would not answer the question other than to say Q4. So It...

All of my ACH's from my broker (not IB) are there the next morning so long as the request is put in before 2pm eastern time.

So they did bust some of the options trades? .. I was buying puts into the drop with plans of an immediate turn around. I managed to get my fill immediately (of course) but couldn't turn it around and sell in time. My buy was within 11 seconds of the halt, I only needed 2 more seconds maybe. My...

FYI: So does ToS, Zecco and a bunch of other brokers. Penson is one of the largest clearing firms.

I don't know a lot about 606 reports etc. But from experience, if you're using limit orders on all your option orders you can mostly ignore those reports. Personally I don't think order routing matters when it comes to options (at all) as much as people try to claim it does, usually in defense...

Insanely basic interface. If you're looking for cheap options prices and a nice interface I like my OH account better than my EOption account, but if you just need low options commissions for small orders than EOption is good for that and (although I've never used it) they can route your...

No idea but I noticed them later last week on something or another. Today I noticed them on AIG/C/GM maybe something else too. Later in the day they popped up on XLF.

It's an MB thing (and some other brokers). The brokers that enforce PDT properly just take away your margin. (Example: https://us.etrade.com/e/t/estation/help?id=1307030000#Know2) (I don't use ETrade, they just have the most readily available proof of point).

My guess (Page 4 of the above linked thread, last comment) turned out to be accurate. They piggyback off Peak 6's connection and since Peak6 gets good rates due to the massive amounts of business they do with the exchanges, they can make money off the rates they charge. They get paid for...

Fairly pointless to put it on a highly liquid option. I'd only use it when it actually has an effect on what you're trying to accomplish.

TOS can't match OH's commissions and there isn't an argument that could be made to make me give up the flat options commissions.

I can't tell if that's sarcasm or not, but I'm going with not. I've been using OH since November and love the system, I have never used IB so I can't comment one way or another - but I just know I used AON when I first got on there and noticed that the b/a changed and I didn't get filled yet...

Yes. It was because it was AON. Stop using AON. I don't know a lot about AON but from what I gather it will be the LAST order filled; that means that your order will be filled as the bid/ask drops/rises to the next level. It'll appear like a crap fill, but you got the fill you asked for - since...

When you're done patting yourself on the back for your hard work and risk management, hit up a GA meeting and then drop by church on Sunday.

I ONLY use limit orders on my OH account and all my orders work how they are supposed to. When the limit order is on something with high liquidity (QQQQ/GE etc.) I get the fill sometimes just by chance of someone selling at market but if the bid/ask matches my limit then I definitely get my...

I agree, but I think I can handle it. Why don't you work on Dennis Kneale and Larry Kudlow .. they need your help!

I'll volunteer to investigate Rebecca Jarvis and Trish Regan.

You are clearly speaking from experience since you've tried all the brokers and researched the commission on each one and compared them. We should all listen to you and your expert wisdom.

Man they must feel like idiots! .. I'll email them later to correct them, but they are wrong.
