    Thank You for your insight. I'm curious about the type of trading you do, and how hotkeys are helpful... do you trade the open for fast scalps? I find the Active Trader which allows executing at bid or ask to be very fast. Or is it the "sell half" function that has helped you be quicker? Thanks Again!

    It depends on the setup for how I trade.  Most mornings I am pretty quick in an out.  Being able to customize hotkeys for sell half, auto set my breakeven, or breakeven +/- .10 etc based on long vs short, and being able to react instantly to seeing the right quote in the lvl 2 is what sold me.  I still miss multiple features of TOS, like being able to see my share size and avg cost IN the montage, dragging stop losses, and better charting.  In the end though, DAS just works better for me when it comes to making really fast precise decisions.  I still use TOS for long term trading, but not for day. 


  2.  I have used both and I use DAS now.  I love TOS's platform.  It really is great, the active trader column and the ability to drag and drop stop losses are the things I miss the most.  However, DAS is faster.  The fills are better, and the use of hotkeys has allowed me to be far more accurate than I was with TOS.  It took a bit of work and several months in the simulator getting used to DAS, but now I am glad to have made the change.  I just finally went live with DAS and CMEG and it is great.  I still have my TOS account and now use it for long term trades and charting.
