what's a reasonable rate I should be paying?

just wanted some opinions on my commissions. I trade ES futures. I am currently paying $4.3 roundtrip including fees. I traded over 1,000 roundtrips last month. Am I paying too much?

Blowing out is a gift. A huge burden has been removed from your shoulders. Now move on with your life.

I run TWS on a mac and quotetracker in Parallels. Works fine.

I would also second the opinion to avoid OptionsXpress.

Avoid optionsXpress at all costs for futures trading. I was merged over to them from xpressTrade and have had nothing but problems. See my previous thread.

No updates. They still refuse to accept any responsibility. I am talking with lawyers to decide the next step. If I start a lawsuit, I may not be able to share much here until it is over, but I will try my best. I have gotten pm's from a bunch of people who have also had problems there, so I...

steve_ib: I understand the exchange will not cancel or eat the trade, but I would hope that any decent brokerage would stand up for their customers and force their executing firm, RJ O'Brien in this case, to eat the trade as it it their fault for the late reporting. The market was briefly...

wareco: Trading RLH8, 5 contracts. One: thanks for the advice, i might close it monday.

I spoke with a lawyer on the phone. He said before arbitration, they would try to see if OX would change their mind on the issue. Didn't give much more info, I am sending him all the docs I have and will talk with him more on monday.

Don, This is what I see now from their webpage: Create Time: 01/03/2008 3:35:16 PM Fill Time: 01/03/2008 3:37:33 PM It doesn't show any information that the order was ever cancelled, so no cancel sent time and no cancel confirmation time. However, I have a printout of the order...

Found this in their customer agreement: Does this mean I have no case in arbitration?

I needed a web platform so I could access through my work's firewall. I was previously on xpresstrade which was fine. Then they merged into optionsxpress last month and it's been a disaster ever since. Oh man, I would much rather call in all my trades than deal with that shitty web platform...

Hi don, I use their web page for trading. I don't know if they have another platform. The web page does not have a message window. Just an order status page, and it does not give an audit trail or any other history of the order.

Ok, next question: how do I start arbitration? Does anyone know any lawyers who are experienced in this?

Hey guys, thanks for all the input. This is probably going to end up in arb. I will keep you all updated. I don't receive cancel confirmation emails, However, I do have a printout of the order status page showing the order as cancelled. And the trade does not show up on my end of day...

I don't normally receive cancel notifications from the broker. So I don't have any proof of that. I have my daily statement from yesterday and it does not include the trade. Ox claims to have only received the trade from RJO'brien today, so it would not be on yesterdays statement from Ox...
