Hi Shawn! So it ends up that they weren't able to migrate any of my positions that had multiple lots into TOS. They told me that anything I buy after the migration will show lots but anything before will not. They told me to go to the website to see my lots. I told them that this isn't 1999 and I don't want to be trading off a website. That's fine for someone who is long term and buys and sells every now and then. For someone who does multiple trades everyday you can't be trading off a website - you need a trading platform. They informed me that this problem will eventually get fixed where my prior history will show lots, but they could not give me a window of when. So I asked them if they could switch me back to StreetSmart and hopefully by the time they phase out that platform they fix that problem with TOS. They agreed and this morning I got my StreetSmart with all my correct positions back.
I haven't tried to see if TOS still works since they already migrated me that may be a chance.
I am totally with you on TOS. Way too many bells and whistles on that platform that I will never use. I still like Etrade Pro the best in terms of what it has to offer and the appearance. TOS is hard on the eyes and you can't change the font to bold where you can do that on Pro. I just hope Etrade doesn't have any ideas about phasing out Pro with a different platform.
