There are a lot of ways to make an omelette...but that doesn't mean only one of them is good. So hopefully there will be a lot of suggestions that help you to find what works for you.

My search led me also to TOS...then inevitably to Tastytrade.com as they are the guys that initially developed TOS. The strategies they use appeal to me more than anything else I have come across. You do have to create an account to see the archives but there is no BS otherwise....it's all free, no spam, no advertising, just solid actionable, investable, tradable information and strategies. Since you are using TD Ameritrade I would suggest also signing up with Dough.com (just sign up using your TOS user ID and password, it's all connected.) Then contact your LOCAL broker TDA representative and tell them your are now signed up with Dough and Tastytrade and your gonna need your fees reduced. They can then reduce your commission on stock trades to 7.95 and more importantly the options to a flat 1.50 per lot.

Good luck
