    Curious what site you guys favor for trading options (and stocks) these days

    I have an old dormant Optionsxpress account and im trying to decide if i should deposit on there or open a new account somewhere else. Optionsexpress worked well for me when i used it but it's been ages, and it appears as though Schwab acquired them a few years ago.

    Just trying to get an idea if there are better sites i could be using

    TradeStation OptionsExpress. It is to me what VBulletin is to Druff. It's comfortable and I have too much invested in it. Ain't the cheapest but don't ever make your platform decision solely on price. Save $3 and lose a $1000 kinda thing.

    Thinkorswim always seemed interesting to me. You can easily share scripts etc with others. It's kind of a social platform.

    Like poker sites, if you set up something new hit those affiliate links and get your bonuses. Not kidding.

    I can get you VIP status and 300 free trades (including options) at Fidelity for a decent sized deposit.
