My thought is that not everyone is with or knows about SteadyOptions, so the SteadyOptions+Tradier deal would not be available to them. In that case, the Elite version would be right for them.

i would love TradeHawk but my budget is $50 /m tops..

Same here. You cannot trade any form of combo, so far, today. I also was on the phone with them for awhile and they let me know it was a "known issue" that is affecting everyone. I have been with them since they opened 20+ years ago, and nothing like this ever happened. I 've been having to leg out of positions all day and it REALLY sucks. But, given the circumstances, I didn't get hurt too much.

To me, the two most important things when selecting a broker are execution and commissions. It is true that TOS has more features than IB, but you can always use their features (by opening a paper account or real account with a small amount of money) but do a real trading with IB. Unless you can negotiate $1 per contract (and no trade fee) with TOS, the choice is obvious. And the money you save can be spent on trading software like ONE. Think of it this way: For a 10k account, using SO strategies, you will be trading around 250-300 contracts per month. With IB, your cost will be around $190-225, or ~2% of the account value. With TOS, assuming $1.50 per contract, it's DOUBLE. So the savings are $200+ per 10k of trading. For 50k account, that's $1,000 PER MONTH. ONE software costs around $600 PER YEAR.
