I was using TD ameritrade for trading. It recently got acquired and now I’m forced to use schwab….which has an absolutely horrendous and confusing UI. Any better options out there for normal brokerage and option trading?

Why don't you just use Think or Swim?

I second this!! TOS is the only way to trade if you’re serious.

You can use Think Or Swim still, however they will likely transition you back to a TDAmeritrade account.

If you have any issues, call the Trade Desk directly and they can help you.

800.587-2226. If you aren't an active trader they may not recognize your phone number and ask some simple questions. Name, account number, email on file, employer, last 4 of SS or account balance. Likely 4 of these.

If that fails, tell them you are going to move to Tasty Trade.

There are only about a dozen guys in that particular group, and they are all great. Not the group to ask about basic things. But they will handle this for you more than likely.

TOS isn’t going away. One of the reasons it was acquired…

I like Fidelity and think it is much easier than Schwab or Ameritrade

Who do you use for options on web UI? I tried ThinkorSwim, but it does not show the options and prices as clearly as fidelity and seems overly complicated. Just trying to do simple things like roll an option seem difficult in TOS. I just started using Schwab, and the UI is kinda clunky there.

TOS or Tasty Trade.

I'm with ya buddy. Feel the same way, def not as user friendly as TD. I was thinking, why not borrow the look and feel of TD on schwab app? I'm sure old schwab customers wouldn't mind the enhancements. But I'm also asking around for a comparable brokerage firm to possibly switch to.

Merrill Edge site and app has a very simple and easy to use UI, but I agree with using TOS if you don’t want to change from Schwab, it was the only thing of TDs that they kept

Hmm..

I talked to the Trade Desk yesterday. No one using TOS will have to move until after Q2 estimated taxes on July 15th next year are due. It could be delayed longer. TOS will be fully integrated into Schwab by end of Q1. If that slips, so will the move period.

I opened a new TDA account for my daughter this morning.

I'm a Canadian on the TN visa working in the US and planning on maxing my Roth IRA (6k) and will have enough left to max my 401k this year, but am not sure if I should just use a taxable account over 401k due to tax considerations when I move back to Canada (likely 1-2 years from now). Any thoughts here? I don't think I'll have enough RRSP room to move 401k>IRA>RRSP and I would prefer to not have to file US taxes every year in retirement for withdrawls if I left the 401k in the US.

Long time in the making; but we finally sold off from our 50% HWB short. We had two tests at the 3400 level, getting as high as 3420 today before the sell off. Momentum and pessimism over lack of stimulus could take us to the 3107 target quickly, nearly a 10 percent decline over the next month. Stay short my friends. It's going to get bumpy.
