Any other broker whose fee's are as low as IB but have no exposure fee's ?

Is this 401k account as I don't mention of taxes in your calculations ? thx

Nobody can beat IB in commission costs for small retail traders. How much ever discount you get from other brokers, it won't be lesser than IB. Show me one small retail person who has better overall price than IB ?

I don't think you will find a cheaper options brokers (overall ) than IB for retail investors. I trade in small quantities(1-2 lots) at a time and IB is the cheapest for small lots

What do you mean by "relieve ticket charge" . I have decent sized acct with IB but I always pay commission as mentioned on their site. Is there anyway, I can negotiate with them to reduce the commissions etc. Has anybody done it , if so, what reasons do you give

IMHO, Never sell naked put's. A sudden downward swing will empty you account.

Net P&L is after or before taxes ?

Does the final amount exclude taxes as they are around ~22%

Can you name some quasi-institutional that give better leverage than IB.

Which one of these offer the most leverage. What are the costs at New Edge/LEK. Are they cheaper than IB ? -brokerage -interest rate

Neke, Can you plz post some of the trades for last week.

IB will be cheaper for options, futures etc. For stocks, if the quantity < 1000, its cheaper or else it will be slightly costlier than TDAmtd etc

Any free ones ? It doesn't need to be real-time
