There is something else that I think many people here, and in other , similar, places have taken so far out of context that it has reached the point of "abusing" the concept. Here is the most extreme example, but you will get my point. I bought an option for .10 cents, and sold it the next day for .12 cents. That is a 20% return, and if you "annualize" this, it comes out to (pick a number) 35,000%. There comes a point where .02 cents = .02 cents!

One more thing with Tradier... they do not provide quotes on RUT (Russell 2000) index. They have quotes for RUT's options, but not RUT itself. Therefore, you need to use another source just to find out what the current price of RUT is. This also applies to when using OptionNetExplorer (ONE) to model trades. ONE gets all messed up because it needs the current price of RUT to do any calculations. @semsem24 There are no hidden fees that I've found. $40 per month gets subracted from your account, and each contract's fees are about $0.09 per contract. The few trades I've put on have already paid for (more than) a month's worth of OptionNetExplorer to use as a front-end. They claimed that they do not have a planned end date for this deal, but reserve the right to change at any time. It is currently not an introductory offer with an expiration date. That said, I'm not sure how they can stay in business only making $40 per customer.
