5.98 RT - All fees included. Advanced futures will be 4.90 RT: plus 1 per side or 500 a month. Which is going to be pretty much the same in my case.

I have gathered dozens of e-mails from many different firms and I will send them an e-mail to see what they can offer. E-local, Advanced futures and IB are the cheapest ones so far. But I heard that IB goes down frequently when trading ES and NQ. Is that true? And what about the others?

Thanks profitseer!!! :-)
