complex orders in Canada?

Do you guys know any broker that allows complex orders for options on the web?

Also, as you guys may know, us Canucks are getting murdered on commissions on options. Any broker offers acceptable prices? (comparable to the U.S)

Thanks

 

What is a complex order for you?

 

Well from the brokers I contacted, Anything that has 2 legs or more would be considered complex. These morons can't even offer that apparently

 

I guess anyways that your best options are interactivebrokers (office in Montreal) or ThinkorSwim (if you'r not a Québec resident, thanks to l'autorité des marchés financiers).

 

What's the story with Quebec residents not being able to use TOS?

 

My mistake, I had a look and it is now offered (took over a year).
The thing is that in Canada, the regulation is on a province basis and in Quebec they tend to play their own game. So all the brokers have to comply with theses special regulations, one in particular must be regarding docs/support in French.

 

In that case Keops, would you say IB or TOS is better?

 

I only know IB and I'm not sure about TOS. I am pleased with IB. It has it's weaknesses like anyone else though. IB seems to offer a great deal of order type.

Maybe other ET traders can speak for TOS.

 

+1 on TOS

tho you can't do Canadian equities

and funds are held in US dollars

 

Unless I understand wrong, TOS commissions seem considerably higher for options compared to IB... Am I right?
