Finally... Options Trading available at Datek

FYI- just got this in the mail:

We have received and reviewed the information on your
option application. Based on the information you provided us, we have approved your account for Level IV options trading.

This allows you to:

· Sell covered calls
· Purchase married puts
· Purchase calls and puts
· Trade qualified spreads.
· Sell uncovered puts.

Please note: Our introduction of option trading allows
only the purchase and sale of long options. We will notify
you by when email other strategies are offered in the near
future. If you have any questions, please e-mail our
Customer Support team at support@datek.com or call us 24 hours, 7 days a week at 1-800-U2-DATEK.


at Datek the cost of an option trade is $9.99 plus $1.75 per contract, they offer free real-time option price chains for non-professional users and their online interface is fast and easy to use for order entry. they also have realtime portfolio updating so you know where you stand minute by minute.

the only problems i've ever had is trying to deal with the humans there by telephone or email but so much is automated, accurate and simple to use that i rarely ever have to talk to a human.

they are MUCH easier to use, provide faster and quicker information and are MUCH less expensive than where i am currently trading options (Accutrade).

if you have an existing account with datek, here is a link to an options trading application page:

homesec.datek.com

this is not an ad. i'm just sharing information for friends.
