OEX options with Trade Station

I currently trade OEX options with IB but I use Trade Station for my data. What I am wondering is how many OEX option contracts does a person have to trade using the TS entry platform and RJ O'Brien brokerage in order to get the normal TS data fee ($99) waived?

From my experience so far trading the mini futures with the TS platform is not fun.

All comments appreciated.

I do not know the answer off the top of my head but it is plastered all over TS's website

 

How are the fills in OEX?

 

Fills on the OEX are general slow up to a minute for confirmation often yet sometimes they are almost instantaneous. So I guess one could say that they are erradic and lack consistancy.

Anybody else have anything to share on this?

 

optioncoach,

Yeah OK I dug a little at the TS site and came up with the following:

*Reimbursement shall be limited to 10 equities trades of 2000 shares or fewer each, 50 options contracts traded, or 10 round-turn futures contracts executed through TradeStation.

So I guess a phone call will be appropriate for full clarity.

Thanks.

 

If you trade 50 or more OEX index options contracts in less than a month, the fee is waived.

 

DeltaSpread,

Thanks. What do you think of their trading platform and fills etc. Do you find it hard to use? I tried it some with ES mini's and didn't like it much compared to IB platform that I am very use to.

 

Actually never used TradeStation. A friend of mine does and I just asked him for you, but he just uses it for equities.

 

OK DeltaSpread....Thanks
