TOS was recommended and it has no equal for options. If you want to trade oil futures it is not a good fit. In volatile periods such as the fist 90 minutes after the Oil Inventory Report they cannot keep their charts current. And to catch up they skip trades. I would recommend AMP with the Sierra Charts platform using CQG data feed. You will have to pay a $15 quote feed monthly but it is worth it. Plus, you get much lower round trip commissions and very significantly lower margins with AMP I am a long time user of TOS and they have a very good platform. But I have found that everything TOS can do Sierra Charts does better and they have capabilities that TOS does not. For example if you want a 7 minute and 14 seconds interval on you charts you can get it and also get it for the number of days that you want it. Can't do that with TOS
