I appreciate the input, I've already looked at Infinity and they seem like a good group, but I'm not sure that's what I'm looking for at this time.
I also have a total of five (5) brokerage accounts at this time, each with their own purposes.
I forgot to mention that I can trade equity options with my ML Edge account, so I may just do away with TDA/TOS altogether and use Sierra Charts as my main platform.
I've just used TOS for so long and there are lots of functionalities in the platform that I like. I gave them an ultimatum on dropping the commissions or I'm gone.
We shall see if they play ball or not.

Will you share where the rate ended up for you? Mine is currently $1.25 + fees per contract, one-way. Curious if you were able to do better. My NinjaTrader rate is $0.53 plus fees, so ToS' "best rate" they gave me isn't so spectacular. I'll be doing most of my Futures trading on Ninja anyway, so I'm not going to pick a fight with ToS.
I don't notice a lag in general as far as data in the DOM goes I've tested it side by side with Ninja and matches well.
But it is definitely slow on response for order submission and execution. Now I'm talking fractionally but enough that it's uncomfortable if you're used to a true futures platform. Can't say if it's just on the screen vs the actual order getting in and executed or not. But I'm trying it out for a bit to see how it goes.
My guess is that it will have problems in high volatility even more so than other platforms.
It lacks good trade management capabilities for auto scaling and stop movement too. Very simple in that regard.
