I’ve decided to try trading options and I have had a bunch of people tell me that optionsxpress is a great place to do so. The thing is that I still like to trade stocks on Scottrade because the commissions are so low and I understand that it’s more expensive to trade stocks with optionsxpress, but the commissions for trading options with optionsxpress is lower than scottrades. I want to start trading options with a seprate account with optionsxpress and do it with about $3000. Is that too low of an amount? Also, i just want to trade them, not exercise them and mostly just calls on stocks that have high volume in their options (Example:AAPL). Thank you.

I trade options frequently. You should only use a small portion of your investment assets to trade options. If the 3000 is all you have to invest, I would not recommend putting all of it towards option trades.
If you are only buying and selling calls then you can make plenty of trades on $3,000.
I don’t use Scottrade, but I would assume they are pretty inexpensive for their trading fees. I would go with whoever charges the lowest commission. I use Fidelity and I think they charge $8 + $.75 per contract.
uuhhhhh…. ask OptionsXpress.com
