Best retail broker for options? Can you start with 15k?

Also, Instaquote allowed you to open 1 trading window, with buy and sell buttons, for 1 individual put or call. That’s handy.

What’s the current knowledge on best brokers for options? Thanks!

 

Why are you getting rid of Merrill?

 

Thinkorswim by TD Ameritrade. Been using it for years

 

Examine and read all the fine print at Public.com. They claim to be splitting the PFOF rebating. Good for SPY and other ETFs - no help for SPX or ES.
PDT would still be an issue at 15K.

 

Can you open a single window, that has buy and sell buttons, to trade a single option (for example, a Tesla July 200 call option)?

 

Not even a thank you to the three experienced traders who posted, just another question. I trade 1000s of contracts daily and have tried every broker and almost every platform. I thought of two but forget it.

Sure can; but most cant do much with that.
Some did , but cash + ETFs some or a few futs tend to do better;
but any leverage is worse way to learn........

 

Thank you for your reply. Are there 2 platforms you can recommend?
