Has ThinkorSwim Improved?

Hi! I hope this site and forum are still active....

 

As most of you would not suggest TOS for trading futures, I wonder if opinions have changed in 2014. I have found a lot of reviews of TOS and comparison to other platforms but all are dated before 2013 or at around 2009....

 

I have also tried InfinityAT demo, really like the DOM but that's it. The log is messy and there are already other issues that I have to speak with support.... Whereas TOS is very intuitive (except I like the infinity DOM about equally) with integrated charting.

 

Anyhow, I can't test the datafeed on TOS because the demo version is already much slower than the InfinityAT's. The ladder on TOS is so many ticks behind!! Any idea if the real, live trade version is any better in 2014??

 

Thanks very much in advance.

Doesn't seem like anyone uses TOS here......

 

Does anyone has experience withdrawing money from Infinity futures. I have a hard time choosing between TOS and Infinity. I like infinity more due to low margin and lower commission, but they charge some money everytime you need to withdraw. And you have to call your rep whenever you want to withdraw money. I think receiving a check is free but who knows when that is going to arrive?! Anyone has experience withdrawing money from Infinity? I am seeing this as a major hurdle to joining this brokerage.

 

Any ideas? Much appreciated.

It has improved some over the last few years. Its still not great but it really depends what you want to do with it. For basic charting etc. its fine. I should note I don't place orders through ToS but just chart.
