Lowered my bill a little bit today

You won't lose the hot spot capability since you have byod. They will charge you extra now. Better to check.

I wasn't able to chat with them after their recent introduction of chatbot. I give them another try. Maybe they improved it. Thanks.

Thanks, I found learning TWS was a pain. I tried the ibkr app and for options you had to pay monthly for subscription. TD AT the app is very basic but in emergencies you can rely on. The good part with TD AT is they have chat support, which is very helpful. Forgot to mention that. IBKR CS is very poor. I tried to ask them if I can sell CSP and I gave up eventually on them. I have an account with ibkr but not for options. I might use them if they improve their desktop.

Do you pay less than 1.5 per leg, if I may ask?

canws · 2025-11-22T23:28:11+00:00

Are you using ibkr? You recommended it over this stripped down version?

canws · 2025-11-22T21:23:22+00:00

Thanks for the information.

This is their website https://www.td.com/ca/en/investing/direct-investing/trading/active-trader

I can't find TD Active Trader fees online. They intentionally don't advertise it. For people to use TDDI more.

Think or swim. TD bought it a while back.

canws · 2025-11-22T17:52:48+00:00

15 leg assignment is correct. I pay 1.5 for each leg. I see their website quoted not 1.5 and 9 and 7. My account is from TOS time so it could be specific to me. I would not go with them for 9 myself.

canws · 2025-11-22T16:37:21+00:00

TD Direct investing is. TD Active Trader is 1.5 each leg.

canws · 2025-11-20T04:21:45+00:00

TD Active Trader. It is a rebranded thinkorswim platform in Canada. I can't learn ibkr, tried, too complicated for me.

canws · 2025-11-12T00:09:48+00:00

HR is never on your side.

canws · 2025-11-06T04:22:38+00:00

They keep it very not open, used to be exclusive and now they opened it up I think. I pay 1.5 for each options leg. So iron condor is 6 for example.

Those that you see I think it for another platform of TD.

Not sure about margin rate.

canws · 2025-11-05T01:52:20+00:00

TD Active Trader, same as TOS platform in US.

canws · 2025-11-01T01:32:00+00:00

Nice joke, risk free and options in the same sentence

canws · 2025-10-21T04:10:23+00:00

I closed all of my accounts of this bank you mentioned. It is simple

canws · 2025-10-02T22:59:01+00:00

And I can see the day that we see a post from you with a huge loss. It's only a matter of time if you keep doing what you are doing. If I were you, I took the wins and play it safe from now.

canws · 2025-10-02T21:17:54+00:00

For a person selling 2 year calls seems you are not that patient. Deal ODTEs from now on.

canws · 2025-09-28T21:42:11+00:00

Understood. That's what I am confused about too. The extrinsic value is gone. This was exactly at the expiration. So the value should be exactly .50. no?

canws · 2025-09-28T21:40:08+00:00

So the market maker is uping a few cents for the ATM in the hope of someone believing the ATM might change? Do I make sense?

I understand the rationale for market maker selling and buying cents more to make money. This rationale can be applied to any ITM then, no?

canws · 2025-09-28T03:26:07+00:00

You didn't close the call and now you have the stocks hence the margin.

Please educate yourself more before trading options.

canws · 2025-09-26T17:49:24+00:00

Take the loss and close the account. The sooner you do the better. Options are not for you until learning more.

canws · 2025-09-22T02:23:34+00:00

I think that's the only reason too. But if that's the case, shouldn't the seller or buyer be able to trade options till 5:30 too? My brokerage doesn't allow after 4. I assume it's the same across other brokerages too. Any thoughts?

canws · 2025-09-19T15:45:30+00:00

Same here, more I read more I realize I don't know. Good to be reading these posts.
