The options traders have had enough influence that I signed up for a paper trading account on thinkorswim. Tastyworks or Tradestation will be the likely destination for the actual account. It seems like Tradestation charges for data feeds, but I couldn't find that info on Tastyworks. Any traders care to chime in on fees for data feeds? Do you do the bulk of your research on the platform?

I've really enjoyed the TT education series. The Beginners course was a great review and I found the two series on Managing a Large/Small Account useful as well. I'm optimistic about successfully trading, but still not sure managing an options account is a better use of time than reviewing PPMs for passive CRE deals. Time will tell...
