What is the best online platform for trading stock options?

Question

I'm currently with sharebuilder because they didn't require a minimum... I've since gotten heavily invested into stock trading/option trading... I don't believe this is the best site for trading options, because I cannot find some of the quote symbols I find on other sites. Let me know.

Answer 1

hi

You can try finexo for options. I have starting trading here and finding it very cheap. this dealer is mainly for Forex but stock trading is also available here including futures, options, CFDs.

You can try with small capital and then gradually increase it.

All the very best

My experience is that thinkorswim.com provides the best platform for trading options.

Answer 3

Scottrade

Answer 4

InteractiveBrokers.com is popular with options traders. Its commissions are also considered to be very low in the industry. If you are looking for Strategies Analysis, sites such as http://www.optionwin.com (scanning, analysis, charting) or http://biz.yahoo.com/opt/ (basic strategies) can help.

Answer 5

If you want a cheaper alternative to Sharebuilder that also does not require minimums, you should check out Firstrade http://www.firstrade.com/
