I use ToS but have not traded futures. Do you have a particular question?

if you are talking about their trading room, it's reasonably priced but then again it's opened for only three trading days a week.
as for their TOS indis, it's definitely eye candy judging from the pics and images, but as regards to effectiveness in live trading, I have no idea as I don't use the TOS platform.

Hi Howard,

ToS was founded by options traders. Regarding options, the tools are excellent. Executions seem great. I frequently get prices better than my limit. I get partial fills. There commissions are higher than some but the frequently lower them just for asking. Their customer service is excellent. I have frequently sent their support email questions over the weekend and I still get answers quickly.

So much for the commercial. I can only extrapolate my excellent experience with ToS for options trading and conclude that they would get a careful look should those here convince me I can also do futures.

Just to clarify, TOS, i.e. ThinkorSwim, is a good broker and excellent platform for options / equity trading. Although you can trade futures from the TOS platform, the guys that built the platform view futures primarily as a tool for hedging the directional risk of equity / derivative positions. In other words, TOS is probably not your best option if directional futures trading is your interest. However, the original posters question in this thread was about tosfuturestrading.com . That would be a vendor of some sort, marketing a "how to trade" product or trade room, etc, i.e. two completely separate companies. Good luck.

Sorry Big Mike. I missed this previous thread.

It seems like this site, "tosfuturestrading.com" and "thinkswimindicators.com" are sister sites of the same organization. The indicators are a 3rd party package Welcome where the "standard" set is $899.
