Functionality. At optionsXpress we specialize in options trading, so we designed our platform with unique features that traders love. For example... Try putting a Good Until Cancelled (GTC) or Day Limit order on a spread at your current broker. Quickly trade both sides of a spread—-even three- and four-leg trades. Our new XspreadsSM online spread marketplace makes it possible for the very first time online. Pull up strategy-specific pricing chains for covered calls, straddles, put spreads, collars and more�all with links to trade screens so you can just point and click to trade.� Easy, one-screen covered call and spread trading. Barron’s states, “The order-entry screens are set up specifically for particular options strategies, and go far beyond those we've seen on other online-broker sites.” Seamless navigation between quotes, tools, and order screens, with no need to re-enter symbols. Advanced option order capabilities, including One-Cancels-Other, Contingent, and One-Triggers-Other orders. Compare historic stock volatility with the actual movement of a stock, by using our proprietary Volatility View chart. These are just a few of the reasons why Barron’s picked optionsXpress as the "#1 online broker" with “an unprecedented 4½ stars”², why we’re a Forbes Favorite Options site³, and why SmartMoney named us "Best Discount Broker".4 The #1 reason why you should be trading here? We give you more options for trading options. I invite you to open an account today, and see what a difference we can make in your trading.
