Does anyone have a recommedation for an online options brokerage with low fees and low minimum account balances? I like interactive brokers but there minimums are now $10K.

Sorry of this has been discussed many times before.

Thanks,

Great gui, quite competitive fees.

Seconding the ThinkorSwim recommendation. They have very flexible commision structures (they'll match any other broker), great platform (and fun to use - looks like something out of a sci-fi movie), and they answer e-mails within a few minutes.

Think or Swim needs to add spread trading functionality for its futures contracts.

Does anyone know a good options broker in Germany? I know that there are comdirect, Cortal Consors and so on, however I would prefer something with a gui featuring the greeks in my pnl pane (as done in thinkorswim).

Ideas highly appreciated!
