HailMary, Elmer, specifying option exchange -

I use Schwab. Can't specify the exchange directly on the computer screen, but they give you a special 800 number to call in that request (on the real-time quote page of the option). I never tried to use it so I don't know if the commission will be based on the online price or the phone-in price (Schwab will sometimes apply the online commission to a phone-in when a special feature isn't supported online).

This hasn't been an issue for me. I find that Schwab's online trading works very well, they are great at finding the best prices for their customers and response time is excellent. Hats off to their programmers! That is why I don't go to the real cheap commission systems like Etrade.
