I didnt read the whole thread... but you know all these brokers and prop shops where you bring your own dough make a nice buck on your money. Even if you're a JBO your clearing firm makes it. Part of doing business

The tick value of any contract never changes. Each individual tick no matter what the contract is stays the same value. As others mentioned look up the contract specs on the listing exchanges website. What contracts are you looking at?

Rest assured that there is payment for order flow on spreads either in the form of cash rebates to your broker or in terms of soft dollar deals.

No one had mentioned spread orders in this thread yet. When you mentioned spreads... I commented NBBO because I thought you were talking about the bid offer spread... of course there is no NBBO on a spread order.

You'll still get the NBBO no matter if the bid is on one exchange and the offer on another

If you're a retail account you get the NBBO no matter where they send the order so you're protected.

What kind of size are you looking to trade? www.susq.com makes the markets in the PHLX currency options and I can put you in touch with the people who do the brokerage. I also know firms that fill on the IMM part of the CME if you want to trade options on the future.

Pretty vague answer by them. rest assured that they get some compensation for order flow on pure retail accounts. Every exchange does it. Soft money deals fly right under the radar and they're is no benefit for them to tell you about them.

Yes they are but just a bit. I have no issue with the covered call sellers just not my cup of tea.
