I am a swing trader, so I do not need IB or similar for day trading

I will buy/sell naked options , Index Futures, and maybe the occasional ETF

Costs is a concern,,, but I am more concerned about customer service, order execution, ease of use..

what do you like and why?

Why not? They are one of the cheapest...

Why not? They are one of the cheapest...

Probably because they don't have the min account opening size. But do we really need to ask "why not IB"!

 

[John9999]

ok...then maybe I need to look at IB... I guess I thought IB was primarily for higher volume day traders

if you are trading options, you should save on price improvement as they don't sell order flow. they don't have monthly minimum requirements if you have over 100K in the account.

Really? Haven't we talked about this over and over? They don't sell equity order flow. They, like almost every broker, gets PFOF on options.
