Other than Tradestation and TOS, what are people using to trade Futures and equity options? Seems most of the popular platforms don't do option tables. I realize IB fits the bill but TWS isn't the best platform functionally.

I use ToS and am generally satisfied.

If I was looking to upgrade analytics I'd connect my NT7 to IB. Comfort in the current arrangement and limited need for the functionality of NT (at this time) plus the pain in the ass of "change" are why I'm not set up that way.

The ToS risk tab is a definite anchor as well.

I believe you can trade stocks and options through Sierra Chart if you connect data from IB.

That is correct although Sierra Charts does not have option tables so effectively you cannot really trade options through Sierra Charts.

Anyone else with thoughts? Are there really quite few platforms that show option tables?
