    OptionsExpress: shut down this week by Schwab


    There are probably others I'm forgetting.

    I would hardly compare optionsxpress to NT, they are in different trading categories

  6. I tried NT briefly. It was way too involved. Like most of these platforms, it took too long to review my charts and load them. I prefer it real simple, stockcharts in my bookmarks.

    i've said this many times..they don't want anyone on those markets.no retail.period. every possible rule or law in past decade was created to squeeze us out of the markets. or keep us away from any decent technology,that may allow us to have some advantage over 'pros'.

    All governments want millions of worker ants to enslave and produce products for the government and a selected few. A government enacted transaction tax will eventually make trading for the small time individual trader unthinkable.
