Options trading can be extremely profitable and fun, or it can be extremely costly and frustrating. Part of the difference is knowledge and experience—no question. But having a great option trading software platform can turn the odds of success in the favor of even the most novice options trader.

Obviously, there are tons of programs on the market. Most are poor, and some are good. If you have thinkorswim as your broker, you’ve already got access to the most powerful options trading software system in the world—for free! If you haven’t yet switched to thinkorswim and are looking for a retail program, here are some features that we would not do without:
