what is the cost of button trader vs. Xtrader for active traders? Please use and example of someone trading 900 plus times a month - all inclusive costs. jg

Xtrader is definitely a step above, but you get what you pay for....the clearing firm rarely has anything to do with Jtrader issues. I clear through 4 different firms. Most problems occur in the initial stages (growing pains)....GHCO, RCG, RJO and Refco all have their strengths and weaknesses...

Michael: Thanks for your input. Are the rates at Xpress flat or all inclusive? You mentioned $14 for CBT and $18 for others per round turn. You also mentioned you are looking for rates under $22 for options. What option rate does Xpress charge? I am confused by your post. I answered...

What would the goal be of forming another chat away from this forum? New to this site...bit this seems pretty fast and not too cluttered.
