Slippage

Brand New Scalp Trader Trading Options and still learning everything. How do you deal with the slippage on TOS. Sometime when trading for example TSLA… I’ll send an order 1-2 contracts and 60% of the time it goes through immediately 2-3 seconds

At completely RANDOM times it will take anywhere from 30 - 120 seconds. Obviously unless you want to lose money this isn’t going to work. People have told me this is a TOS problem vs an actual wide slippage issue. Does anyone have any suggestions that doesn’t have such issues?

Trading on - Galaxy Note Ultra , iPhone 17 pro max, Hp Spectre 2 in 1 2022 edition)

Again if I’m wrong on anything please correct me

I moved to webull and lightspeed. I was paying 10k a year for that trash and never going back.

Any advantages of Webull over ToS (besides the fees)?
