    Hi All,

    I am looking for recommendations for an online platform which I can buy shares and write covered calls in the one platform. Or if anyone knows of a place to do research that would be appreciated as well.

    My Core Criteria:
    Buy shares & write covered calls in the same platform.
    Able to access both Australian and US Shares.
    Low Commissions for both shares and options.
    An Australian phone number to trading desk in case of problems.

    Secondary criteria (Nice but not important)
    Basic Charting
    Ability to do automatic direct deposits into the account.
    Price alerts to email.

    Thank You for any suggestions or personal recommendations you might have. I am interested in following a Warren Buffet / Benjamin Graham approach to share ownership but I also want the ability to write calls on the shares I own.

    Thank You!

    I was thinking for both US and Australia but probably the US market is more my focus.

    OptionsXpress is pretty good also, maybe look at playing around with the features using $25,000 in a virtual trade account.
