I like TD Ameritrade (now owned by Schwab, but still has their own web site) for its generally good execution (as far as I can tell), but mostly because it still has the best mobile (iPad) app that I use for the majority of my stock and options trading. Note that there are two apps: TD Ameritrade and thinkorswim (aka TOS). TOS is the one you want, and their desktop TOS app is also really good, but I actually find the iPad app to be more than sufficient for most of my trading.
They continue to work and improve it (which I'm relieved about, because Schwab's mobile app is awful, Webull is worse, and I don't know how anyone uses RobinHood for options trading, it's so hard to do cancel/replace orders with them, which I do constantly).

- qorrect 5y agoI wonder if your API trades show up in your history so you can view them from the ToS client.
- Hedgemaster 5y agoThank you for such a detailed review! Does TOS have any options-related insights like easy-to-analyse implied volatility smile for Sentiment Analysis? Or like volatility skew to easily identify which options are under-priced/overpriced? Totally agree with u regarding RH, built for gambling not trading..
- tedyoung 5y agoThe desktop TOS has a bunch of options analysis tools (mobile has some, too), but honestly I don't use them very much so don't know them too well.
