    Pretty pricey ...


    $2.95 per contract OR $1.50 per contract plus $9.95


    buy/sell 20 contracts

    ThinkorSwim = $80
    Tradestation: = $40


    5 Similiar trades/month =

    ThinkorSwim = $400
    Tradestation = $200 + $100(monthly fees) = $300

    10 Trades:

    ThinkSwim = $800
    Tradestation = $500

    Adds up...

    When you do comparison, you have to compare the apples to the apples.

    TOS does not accept order flow so you get better fill/price, they work the trades for you, you can call to place order & ask strategy questions with no extra cost, many free tools, margin are done correctly & tons of free/low cost classes. The calls are answered by ex-option market makers, etc.
