[TheOptionClub.com] Re: td ameritrade

 



Greetings Ali - I've been a TOS customer for 3.5yrs now. At first the software can be daunting but I just started clicking on circles, boxes & wrenches to see what it did. Also Cindy Faber from TOS puts on a demo class every Tues @ 4PM CST, email Cindy @ cfaber@thinkorswim.com for link. Lately most classes have been pretty basic because of the TDA people coming over to trade on the TOS platform. The demo is usually 1-1.5hrs long, hope that helps.

Good trading - David
