CASH COW

Yes - Izone options info.

I was with Freetrade since it began. Never traded options
nor knew how well it was. Stocks at FT were the best. Izone
as mentioned by prior poster...slower fills, no price breaks,
costs more per trade, charges extra for RT News, Lvl II, Streamer quotes (but see below).
On plus side. Site is more solid (FT had some outages).
There are a few Easter Eggs I won't mention cause they
might end them. just think along lines of a sweet stream
of quote info...your Ports are now RT (were delayed). And
it still plays nice w/ QTracker. There is some form of RT CBSMW News. ACH feature is a blessing for free transfers to & from your bank.
I'm surprised some discounters don't do options. Is it
Lowtrades.com? Izone is hooked to AMTD so options ok.
That's the deal. g/l

Note, no AH in Options.
