Highly comparable. thinkorswim was a great platform and Fidelity has achieved competing against it. Ease of learning curve with training and the ability to configure exactly what the user wants to see is a huge plus. The customizations available are a major bonus and Fidelity's overall customer experience is a beacon in the marketplace.
