I was a beta tester of the iPhone app, and it's definitely usable for trading on the go. I've opened, closed and modified dozens of trades on it, and while it's good, it's definitely not as good as the IB TWS or the thinkorswim mobile app. Just my 2 cents. For those that remember the 'dough' app, the new tastyworks app isn't that much different than the 'dough' app that used to work with TDA before Sosnoff and TDA parted ways in January. Opening/closing/modifying orders are all very similar between dough and the new tastyworks app.

Just a quick update on my experience with Tradier so far. I started trading with them on 9/1, and order execution has been good so far. One surprise that I didn't see discussed before is that they do not have live data for the RUT index, but they do have live data for SPX, NDX & VIX. I'm using ONE to enter trades through Tradier, and I have to switch the data feed from Tradier to IB to get Greeks, IV and last pricing on the RUT index. Not a big deal, but it is slightly annoying. I contacted their support about this, and because of the cost associated with real-time RUT data, they currently have no plans on adding support for real-time RUT data. Just something to be aware of if you do choose to use Tradier.

Just in case anyone else has the same question about SPX, RUT & VIX options at Tradier, I did email them, and here are the fees that they charge on each: VIX: $0.36/contract SPX: $0.53/contract RUT: $0.18/contract

@apsoccermd good point on additional fees for VIX....According to the Tradier website, there is a fee of somewhere between 0.18-0.60 per contract for VIX options. Can anyone that is on the $40/month plan at Tradier tell us what they are actually charging for VIX, SPX & RUT fees? It's a bit vague on what the actual price is for each product: Are there any option contracts that have fees in addition to ORF and TAF? Yes, there are currently 17 Index Options that have an additional per contract fee. These fees currently range from $0.18/contract - $0.60/contract but only apply on these symbols: DXL, EPX, HGX, MNX, MVR, OEX, OSX, RUT, SOX, SPX, SVO, UTY, VIX, XAU, XEO and XDE.

Thanks, @SBatch I'm ready to give them a try after I spent $91 in commsissions rolling 20 VIX verticals earlier today with IB.

@SBatch do you ever trade while mobile using Tradier? If so, which app do you use to trade while mobile?

I trade SteadyCondors in both my IB and TOS accounts. My commission structure on TOS is $1.00/contract, and that consistently works out better than IB's fees for SPX & RUT. On the last Steady Condors opening, here's what I paid at IB: SPX: $12.33 for 5 Verticals, $4.93 for 2 Verticals, $3.07 for 1 Vertical, and $1.44 for a single put. $21.77 for 17 contracts or ~1.28/contract RUT: $9.61 for 5 Verticals, $3.83 for 2 Verticals, $2.49 for 1 Vertical, and $1.24 for a single put. $17.17 for 17 contracts or ~1.01/contract
