If I open a TOS account, does that account also give me access to all of the tools available through tdameritrade? In other words is there mutual reciprocation between the 2 firms now?

Also, does anyone have the tdameritrade apex account which gives access to the advanced analyzer:

If you qualify for TD AMERITRADE Apex™, you receive Advanced Analyzer for FREE!

Many thanks for any help.

yes - you get one log on for both the TD site and it's web software and TOS platform. All the same account.

I don't believe you can open directly through TOS anymore - the site redirects you to TDA's account-opening page. So you don't have much choice there.

Apex is very easy to qualify for. Five trades per month average, & you're there. That's five trades, not five round-trips. Five Sides.

I don't know anything about the analyzer, though . .

Also, btw, if you trade futures at TDA, they will not automatically count toward Apex. You have to email somebody, & make sure that you're put on Apex status. The computer only sees the brokerage (equities-related) trades.

Depending on total account size be sure to ask for the "Private Client Services" phone number. (It might be 100k min, but not sure.)

They answer the phone directly most times within 1 ring - no automated crap.

I'd tell the number but it should be gotten directly from TD regardless.
