best options broker

Quote from zxcv1fu:

I TOS after typing in the stock symbol, click whichever combol, open the month & click ask to buy. all I have to do is send.

in IB after watching the webaire, I still can not get it. The interface is not so friendly to me.

I found it a bit of ball-ache too, but its worth hammering away at, the penny will drop sooner or later. TOS is very user friendly, but not as customisable as IB.
The range of products and commisions with IB makes it a no-brainer.

I was worried about losing my beloved TOS analytics, but just get a hold of something like Optionstar or Hoadley's tools and you'll be flying.

One important factor to consider is, w/ TOS you can do spreads in IRA accts whereas w/ IB, your short leg has to be cash secured.

I've accts w/ both. IB's commission can't be beat for retail traders. Plus there is no assignment/exercise fee. But if I have to decide on one of these two, I would go w/ TOS for its ease of use, analytics tools and friendly service.

I believe Berkeley UK in London would be able to assist you or Berkeley's Bahamas.
