Hello, I am a new to options and have some limited experience playing around with stocks. I am looking to buy some options. Can you recommend me a good option broker that has free web based charting, and order placement services, and good customer service etc that you have had a good experience with in the past. The commissions really doesn't matter since I am don't trade often, and has limited trading volume etc. What I could really use is a platform that is easy to figure out, and has help when I need it, and also where my funds are safe and secure. thanks..
Check out Thinkorswim or OptionsXpress. Thinkorswim's real power lies in their desktop platform, but their web-based one is good as well, and you can't beat their support. Also, check out Broker reviews.
