I just switched to them, because they bought out my old broker who I was pretty happy with: Xpresstrade. I let the folks at optionsXpress know I'd stick it out, to try to help them improve their platform. But if I'm not happy with the way it turns out in 8 months time, I'll be moving myself . . ."

You could probably trade Mongolian camel ears through them if you wanted. They're not going to hold your hand, but if what you want is a cheap, reliable, no frills broker with a decent java trading platform, you might want to check them out."
