what can i use to test out my option strategies ?

[jjk2]

does thinkorswim force me to fund my account before getting access to all the goods, software etc ?

i want to test out some trading strategies...need a demo account of some sort.

Nope, the demo account is for free...just filled in some datas (with dummies if you want) and you will have access to the all package, real time quotes excluded.

You can also follow and dynamically manage your strategy over time.

Good luck!

Nice site. Too bad you don't have historical TNA or BGU options data as I'm looking for these to do a back test from April 2009 and forward.

Thanks man.

Currently we collect data on some dozens of the major ETF's, and we plan to add some more shortly.

If you know of other important ETF's which are missing please let me know.
