Will, I've only had my new acct with them a short time, but have been pleased. Executions have been prompt, confirmations immediate. Seemed that quotes lagged on their system today , but I would only use their RT quotes as a back up anyway .

Hey Will, Haven't seen you around lately. I'm still stuck in high priced Schwabland. But at least they now have a function that lets you look up options strings. JXM

Will.. re: options trading. I'm using Fidelity and among the BIG discount houses they claim to be the best price. They have graduated pricing (more trades / year, the lesss you pay), but I'm a Gold Circle which is supposedly the top level and I pay $20 for the trade + 1.70 per contract. Since I trade 5-10 contracts this makes each transaction either $28.50 or $37, which looks great until you start trading 8-10 option trades per day... then it gets rather expensive.... I'm trying to get smarter on the trades and trade less; or find someone who handles options contracts at a lower price. So.... I'm interested too in th responses you get from your question. LW
