Really? I wasn't aware of that. I opened an account with thinkorswim before TD Ameritrade acquired them, and I haven't been subjected to any of these rules. I guess I got grandfathered in.

I have an account with them and last year I was able to get my commissions lowered to $9.99 + $0.75 per contract. I ended up switching to OptionsHouse for most of my trading, however, since they only charge $8.50 + $0.15 per contract. OptionsHouse passes through a lot more regulatory and...
