Interactive Brokers is definitely the best for options. Good for stocks too. Ameritrade beats IB only when you buy very large number of shares. IB discussion Subject 32122 IB commissions: interactivebrokers.com

I highly recommend IB for anything but trading large quantities of penny stocks. 100 shares of a stock will cost you $1. over 500 it is .05 per share. So 1000 shares will cost you $7.50 Get into penny stocks and IB can get expensive. But unless you are trading enormous quantities of stocks IB is the way to go. Futures trades are extremely cheap as well. I recommend IB for trading gold and silver futures Option trades very cheap too. Yes IB= Interactive brokers Mish
