)- You can thank Tim Sykes for the nice jumpstart in post count when I first registered...my actual average would be less than 8 per day, if you want to nitpick...but 8 is good enough for me....

What brings you back to ET? "I won't post anymore on this board" is a quote of yours.
The only drawback I see with thinkorswim's ThinkDesktop is how, in the trade tab, the options chains are listed vertically and they cannot be lined up side by side.
I am always looking at time spreads - sometimes in a hurry - and am really hampered by how TOS lists the options. For example, if I'm trying to compare implied volatilities for 6 months, I have to set the option chain to show 6 strikes (or so) and then open up 6 months and basically write down all of the volatilities then pan up and down / up and down / up and down. If you get sick of it and get lazy it can weaken a position you're opening. I realize you have to work to put on good trades, and this is doing a lot of work, but it's unnecessary and stupid work. OptionVue solves this instantly with the matrix... But I am a fan of TOS and want to stick with them. Does anyone else have this issue with TOS - how do you deal with it? How do you evaluate a lot of time spreads (calendars, diagonals) quickly in TOS? Perhaps there is a clever way to use scanner that I have not thought of...
