I like them, though their price on options is higher than ThinkOrSwim...too high in my opinion.
They've been great for me, I'm paying a lot less than the $7 commissions I was at Scottrade. The only downside is a lot of changes to your account must be done via e-mail because there is no web interface for it.
I have OptionsHouse and also highly recommend them...i like them better then Fidelity or Schwab or Etrade (all of which i have previously been with)....Very nice trading platform..fast executions....responsive customer service both on the phone and e-mail.....and $2.95 trades for stocks and etfs..they also have dividend re-investment (by request)...
For your regular brokerage (non-ira) they even give you free access to Maxit...which tracks your buys and sells for cost basis purposes and even generates a schedule D for you each year (this is normally a pay extra premium feature)...And they have a good ACH transfer system for your linked outside accounts....

I'll recommend OptionsHouse.
How is a flat rate of 9.95 per option trade more than a per contract price at thinkorswim? If you're trading more than 5 or 6 contracts, it's already more than optionshouse.

Hi Craig10x, I just opened an account with OH. Can we use their ACH for free in both directions? Thanks
Hi! I think you will enjoy being with them...it is a really nice set-up And to answer your question: yep..their ach transfers are free in both directions.....you can easily add external accounts and they send "test deposit links" to get them activated.....though when you want to remove a bank from your list, you would need to e-mail them to remove it..... Their platform is really neat and very attractive looking...everything all on one main page....and i just love those $2.95 trades

Can someone with an account see if they have transaction downloads into Quicken? They are not listed in Quicken itself, but sometimes you are able to initiate a download from transaction history screen on the website and it gets linked.
If I am going to consolidate all my accounts I really need the transactions to download into Quicken..
I looked around but could not find an answer to this: Is there a limitation to the option price on limit order ? For example, at TDW for option < 3.00, you can only specify your price in 5 cents increment. For option > 3.00, you can only specify your price in 10 cents increment.
congtu said:Is there a limitation to the option price on limit order ? It's set by the exchanges, and it's as you describe for the majority of tickers. The exceptions are the options on the tickers participating in the penny pricing pilot program. Those are priced in pennies below $3 and nickels above.
