I switched to TOS when I started to do spread trades. Although TOS is more expensive, their platform and support are far superior to IB. I found that by trading higher strike spreads enable me to keep pretty close to the IB prices - so to me it is worth it. I tried using the TOS platform for research and IB for trading, but it was very clumsy and inconvenient - and I ended up making a few mistakes because of that. I believe that Ameritrade purchased TOS earlier this year. <em>- Jeff</em> Paul,

TOS seems to have rates like Ameritrade (which also supplies TOS software) and much higher than IB. P:) Jeff
