Are there rebates on Futures market

Hi friends, I am a stock trader and thinking about trying futures. Are there rebates (you get paid when providing liquidity) on the futures market (eg. CME)? And what are the exchange fees per contract? My futures system has a low expected return, hence figuring out how much I am gonna pay in fees is very much important

Any help is very much appreciated!
 
For members, there are rebates for volume.https://www.cmegroup.com/company/files/cme-fee-schedule-2021-03-01.pdf and discounts at trade. For example, page 3 has E-mini equity index fees with discounts for different types of members and page 4 shows the tiers to get rebates.

since you are going to provide liquidity,
we should be asking you this Q,
not the other way round.

I understand these discounts are applied to high-volume traders. I am planning to to provide high volume, and this is probably not applicable to me

now, this is getting rather odd.

what is the difference between

high volume trader and
high volume provider?
 
IMO that’s the least of your potential pitfalls.

And you’ll need an omnibus account in order to get any sort of spread margin offset IF your plan is to spread index futures versus stocks.

The fees and the spread are the only problems that I face. The system is statistically sound, rhe only problem is that ES and NQ are almost efficient and the expected return is low.

I have been using the same system with stocks and this year I am up 30%, while the markets are going the wrong way.
 
“Statistically Sound” is a far cry from real time execution risk. I can think of a dozen firms that spend six figures a month on their ECN’s and that PAY for stock order flow in order to arb baskets.

I wish you good fortune !
