I would love to find a $3.15 rate. NITRO!!! where can I find this? FYI, This past month has been my most active trading month ever. I have traded about 1900 RT's the past 20 trading days. I MUST lower my costs. If anyone can give me an introduction or the name of a firm I would...

I recently saw that Refco has a deal ($4.00 RT) for traders doing more then 50 lots per month. I am averaging about 500 to 750 the last few months. I called a couple of large futures clearing firms to see if they would beat my current rate ($4.80) along with a free platform. Both said that...

Velocity, which is a sponser here, will decrease your e-mini fees by about a third with your volume. You may be one of the few traders here with enough volume to consider negotiating your own rates with the clearing firms. This is more important for CME trading then EUREX. If you are doing...

Don - Who much does Bright charge per round turn to trade the Emini?

great! thank you all.

I am planning to spend a month and a half in Mexico this fall with some friends that recently bought a house in Akumal. Does anyone know if I can connect to IB's TWS and trade from there (of course using my account registered in the US)? I know I can dial-up and get on the internet from there...

If I remember correctly, Florida intangible tax is $1 per thousand on Stocks and Bonds (cash, cd's, retirement plan assets, and any Florida muni's are exempt). Applied to holdings on January 1. Individual Filers - The first $20,000 of total taxable assets are exempt. Assets above $20,000...

GATrader - I think I read that 3 times before understanding. You would think they could come up with a simpler deal!
