I work with DeCarley regarding short options, using the Zaner360 platform. The platform ist average, which is not of great importance for me as a longterm trader. But the service of Carley is the best I ever received, and this compensates some of the shortcomings of the platform.
I'll give a vote to TOS, when it comes to options it's probably one of the best.
I used to follow and watch Tom N Tony @ tastytrade.com, but since they've parted ways with TDA / TOS, I don't really watch them much, if any.
I'd imagine their platform is really good as Tom was the creator (as previously mentioned on this thread) of TOS. I seem to recall seeing they had very attractive pricing for option trades, not sure about what they charge for options on futures.

I have been with TradeStation for a while, however since they suspended selling options on futures a few days ago, I am looking for a new broker. Anyone can recommend a good broker for international traders? I mostly sell ES, GC and KC.
i'am satisfied with Interactive Brokers as Broker and ToS (RealMoney Acount) only for charting and monitoring trades. TdAmeritrade dont accept european customers.
ToS are not allowed to do any margin enabled business with EU residents. Doesn`t apply to cash accounts. And residents of Switzerland are not restricted in their options/futures trades in any way.
Interactive Brokers is a good broker albeit for ES trades with a grain of salt as they don`t use SPAN.
In 20 years of trading with 7 companies the best company I've worked with Futuresonline.com which is the discount division of Daniels Trading. Minimum SPAN and low commissions and no platform fees. I've had the least number of problems with them. I only have to call about minor errors about once a year.
The absolute worst was Tradestation for option selling. If you have tons of free time to argue with customer service over their mistakes then give them a shot!
