That's why he flies a helicopter...

Look into ThinkorSwim. They'll chart like 2 or 3 bucks a side, but if you tell them you REALLLLLLLLY want to trade through them but you need a bit better commission structure...say 1.50 a side...see what they say.
The website says $0.015/share ($5 minimum) or flat fee of $9.95. For options the rate is $2.95/contract or $1.50/contract + $9.95 whichever is less.

They also indicate you can choose any broker internet rate.

This seems more expensive then what I'm paying now at Scottrade. TradeKing is $4.95 + $0.65/contract.

I guess ToS, at my request, would need to discount their rates to be less.

I'm not sure what IB charges but I thought it was like $1/contract with no added commission.
