ThinkorSwim vs IB

J

Joel Reymont

According to my trade history, ThinkorSwim used to charge $1.25 per contract and now charge $10 per ticket plus $0.75 per contract.

IB charges $0.70 per contract but the software is horrendous and I can't stand it.

Is everyone switching from ToS to IB?

Is it about stocks? Or futures and options too?
 
Quote from Joel Reymont:

This is strictly about options.

The ToS options analysis software dominates all others.

Are you sure it's $10 + $1.25?
I still show $1.25/contract.
 
I'm getting 1.5 per just like before.
Old deal used to be 3 with 40 rebate after x number of trades (don't remember how many) or you could negotiate it down.
If you got 1.25 you did better than me at negotiating, obviously.
 
I just double-checked and it appears that I started at 1.50 and finished at 1.25. I think I spoke to one of the founders on recommendation of someone else.

I also just checked the Integration FAQ [1] and it appears that the commission schedule did not change as a result of integration.

I think I'll just let my freshly opened IB account languish.
