Yes, TOS for the charts/indicators, and Suretrader's DAS for placing orders.

Hello:

I currently have an account with ToS and am opening an account with another broker/clearing firm. Primary reason is due to commissions.

With that said, I have to choose another platform/data feed with the new broker and was kicking around the idea of just using one of the provided platforms that does not have a monthly fee for orders. However, none of these platforms have charts.

So, I was thinking about simply using my inactive ToS account for charting instead of signing up for a platform/charting/data package combination with the new broker.

I am not a day trader in the strict definition, though I am not opposed to getting in and out of trades quickly. Was wondering if any of you might be able to offer some pros and cons to such an arrangement/set up.

Thanks!

Analyzing trades in TOS and then executing them in Interactive Broker's TWS is a bit of a pain (not to mention error prone). Does anyone know a way to copy trades from TOS to TWS besides this manual operation?
