How many of you have experienced problems with StreetSmartCentral in the last 2 days... no option chains, not able to place orders, account balance not available!!, etc...

Time to ditch and move on? Who are the better brokers for options? TIA!

ThinkorSwim, which was acquired by Schwab, is the gold standard for retail options trading because of it's low upfront cost and it's powerful capabilities. That sounds like an advert, but it's true. You can open an account for free and request live data via support if you don't want to actually trade through them.
