optionxpress is a baby setting broker /Coral/All

Hi All, Coral,

I read your post with great interest !!!

Seems as though as one "who does not trade" you have a lot of data/information on current brokerage commissions and order types.

Trend posted some data on commission fees a couple of years ago and at the time Ox was right in there.

I think my $10 (varies but not much) on a round trip futures trade is less than what Wayne posted a few weeks back on his trading fees.

Maybe others would like to comment on their experience from "actually doing live trades and dealing with a real broker on an ongoing basis".

As a "learning contribution" to us all, maybe you could comment on the OptionsXpress order types and their "shortcomings" as you "see them" with examples of what "other brokers offer" that you think to be so far superior.

I find OptionsXpress to be "IMPECCABLE" and have been very pleased. So, please "ENLIGHTEN" us ALL with an explanation of the "shortcomings" you see. Concrete comparisons of "fees and order types" that we can ALL understand, not just general "loose" statements.
