Former thinkorswim users - what do you miss?

I'm interested to hear from the people who formerly traded with thinkorswim and are currently with tastytrade.

  • What do you miss about thinkorswim?
  • What would tempt you back?
  • What keeps you at tastytrade?

I've currently got most funds at Fidelity and their options tools are not up to par, and I'm looking to move funds to either TT or TOS.

I've got a teensy bit of money at TT for some live trades to give it a good evaluation, and I've made plenty of use of the TOS paper money account. I'm having a hell of a time making the decision, since there are things about each platform that I like.

So I'm interested to hear from folks who've settled this decision and even those who still wrestle with it.

(I'll also post the mirror image of this in r/thinkorswim, so for anyone who frequents both subs please forgive the similar post.)

About ACAT Transfer from IBKR

So I am a bit of confused and this is my first time of using ACAT Full transfer from IBKR to tastytrade (I wanna switch to Tasty for easier option trading). I had around $1200 on IBKR

On 24 Sep, I requested ACAT Transfer and and 30 sep it says completed in tastytrade. Right now my tastytrade has $382 and around $832 left in IBKR.

I don't know about the system but shouldn't all my money have been transferred 100% to tasty? I did see a residual transfer. What is that? How come it takes this long for transfer?
