I would give TradeStation a thumbs up based on my experiences.

I didn't see anything on their website about minimums, but I found a fool.com review that says the minimum deposit for option trading is $500 for a cash account and $2000 for a margin account.
I will check out NinjaTrader.
I had optionsxpress.com for years and could sell naked calls with very little margin. Then Schwab bought them and now they require 25k in a margin account in order to sell naked calls. I didn't bother completing the paperwork to move from optionsxpress to Schwab.
