Hi, I'm french and I devellop software on the options trading (15months). Now I have 30.000$ and I want make money with the options trading. The bug is the ticket to the trade (ticket + Xcontract). Only InteractiveBroker and MBTrading ask not the ticket. You know another broker to trade the options and the stock without the ticket? I contacted "Genesis Securities", they are very speed to reply, but they can't trade the options (for the moment). What is the best ... to make the money and learn with a good broker ? Thanks
the rate of IB isn't very good. A lot of trader have problems. Maybe the traders aren't good. I don't know if IB is the best broker to begin with options and stocks.
IB is really great for options with really great rates, you will have a hard time finding better rates with only 30.000 USD. I know what I'm talking about there have been years when I have traded over 50000 options through them.
thinkorswim is good but there is a ticket to enter a trade and the price of assigment or exercice is very high (15$).

Look at OptionsHouse http://optionhouse.com/home/jsp/index.jsp Their fee structure, which is flat rate, period, is terrific (for retail) if you trade any kind of size (ie 10+ options contracts, 500+ shares.) Another to look at is RML trading http://rmltrading.com/ They do have an (options) ticket charge, but the fee structure is 100% negotiable! If you actively trade, but with flucuating trade size, RML is one of the few (retail) out there that will aggressively compete for option and stock business with negotiated commissions and fees. Good trading Osorico
