I personally have used Scottrade for years, starting with when they first started advertising on our sites. I wish I could get them to advertise here again. Every online broker prior to them has found a way to tick me off so much that I've moved my account elsewhere. This has yet to happen with Scottrade, though I feel like I'm getting raped on options commissions. I paid $107 commission the other day on a purchase of 80 calls at 15 cents. If I sell at a nickel profit, they get over half the profit. I'm going to look elsewhere for an account specifically for options trading.

I'm having a problem with ScottradeElite and am wondering if anyone else is having the same problem or has found a solution.

Any time it starts up (in the morning or when it restarts itself after a connection breakage), the Volume study in my Level II windows is present but empty. It won't show any data until I remove the study and add it back in. A real pain to have to do this every morning.

Anyone else encountered this problem and found a solution?
