I have traded futs with ToS. It's quick.

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.

Yup, I'd ask ToS to discount your rates. I currently pay 1.50 per contract without the 9.95 added on. Like I always say, it never hurts to ask.

Thanks TinGull I will definitely do this.
