Good platforms for trading Bonds?

W

I normally use TDA/TOS and love the trading platform. However you can't buy/sell bonds on it, or pull up quotes..unless you're trading futures.

Any good brokers that will let you access the corporate, treasury, and municipal bond market. And one that has a platform as nice as TDA/TOS?

In addition to purchasing on the secondary market, I'd be interested in a broker who participates in some of the municipal offerings.

Thanks.
 
To be sure, you just wanna buy bonds in your account, right? If so, the usual suspects, i.e. Fidelity, Charles Schwab, etc, are supposed to be good.

How do you pull up bond quotes on tos? I always have to call some dude named Paul.

IB is the best in business for retail. they are only one,who allow you to access the market directly(talking about corp.bonds),without any BS markups. lowest commissions in business,best inventory i ever seen. but you do realize that the current rates are beyond shitty, and imo-not worth the risk at all.
