Can you negociate w/ IB?

[Sky123987]

If you are doing HIGH volume, can you negociate with IB saying hey broker so and so said they'd give me x, can you beat that?

they say "NO"

Negotiate is one of those words that, if you can't spell, you shouldn't be doing.

What do you consider "High Volume"?
Why not become a 106-R Member of CME to save dough, you can still trade through most brokers?

5 - 10 m / m. i traded mostly equties, so i'm guessing the CME wouldn't make sense

Comissions are a HUGE part, for every .001 you save, that's 12,000 / year for every million shares you do a month, so if you do 3 mill a month, that's $36,000.

I've spent about 10 hours MAX seeking out better deals, you think 10 hours MAX to possibly save $36,000 is a good deal? I would have to tend to say it seems like a good risk to reward. Afterall isn't that trading?
