Yes I trade options with the Efolks but it has its drawbacks. Option Orders sometimes seems unusually slow in executing. Option Trade Confirmations seem to usually take longer than Stock Trade Confirmations. Fills are sometimes lousy and often only filled when the markets have moved significantly against your order. Never, never use a market order with options* if you want to keep your head in tack. The good news is that even if you don't get the best fills or timely confirmation, hugh gains (or losses) can be made very quickly in some of these volatile stocks that swing 20 +/- point a day. Also since the time is of the upmost essence, I never, ever let winners ride and take smaller profits quickly and often leave big potential profits on the table rather than risk everything changing on a dime. 4-Bob
