Which brokerages offer Single Stock Futures?
I’m looking for a broker that offers options as well as SSFs or single stock futures. I know IB, tradestation and OptionsXpress offer them but IB and tradestation have awfully high requirements for opening balance, maintained balance and even monthly platform fees. OptionsXpress overcharges commissions so I was looking for alternative brokers that might offer SSFs.
If you don’t know what they are then look at this: http://www.onechicago.com/?page_id=118
Basically it’s highly leveraged derivatives without an "option". Well anyway I would like to have the option of playing with them one day and for future reference I would like to know if anyone’s broker offers these or not. And yes I looked at the list on the website, I am looking for similar offerings by other brokers not listed at onechicago if they even exist.
Adelaide were you trying to say something?

I use TerraNovaOnline, but you’re going to have higher minimum margin and maintenance at any broker for a futures account. Trading vs investing requires more resources. Professional trading platforms also carry higher costs rather than a browser-based platform that shouldn’t be used for day-trading anyway.
I have yet to find a trading product that is not offered at TerraNova. You can trade everything in one place, but you gotta pony up.
