  1. Hi @PGAmbrosio, I have been using Tradier with TradeHawk for almost a month and am quite happy with it. For many SO trades, especially calendars and low priced straddles/strangles, the commission advantage is unbeatable. Just a few things: Tradier does not have a mobile platform at this point. Also they don't support calendars (spreads with same expiration are okay) on cash settled products (SPX, VIX, RUT etc.). So I maintain my IB account and do such trades there. So far, I have not seen any fills/liquidity issues. We've had a few glitches with the platform but I have seen those with all other platforms I have used as well. Good luck!!

  2. no question about commission savings but their web based platform is very basic I use it on my phone and laptop. my biggest problem is that there is no simple way to track daily profit and loss They are working on it but making slow progress

  3. The biggest con for me is the lack of a good mobile platform. You can make trades through their web interface, but building spreads is a headache and very easy to mess up. As long as you have access to one of the desktop platforms (Tradehawk and Trend are the ones I used, both great), I've been VERY happy with Tradier.

  5. Also I note that Q was a high percentage 11:1 winner 3 day Pre Earnings play. But it would have been a loser this time around. Earnings are BMO tomorrow so today is last day of trade (although holding through earnings up to 3 days afterwards tests well also - if you have the stomach for holding through earnings). The stock was up on the 23rd which was the buy-in date and has drifted down with the market since then -- and now I see that there are no weekly options or 40 delta contracts available. Not sure how CML back-tests this ticker for 3 and 7 day pre-earnings if no weekly contracts available...? My strategy is to do multiple small positions on candidates that are 80% or better back-tested winners. Get out with OCO of 40% profit/25% loss.
