Cheap Futures Broker??

I trade with openecry. As long as you can read a recent chart you can't beat them.
Their rates have ALWAYS been negotiable. Did you notice there is no link on the site to the published rates? But if you inquire (not to be confused with rate negotiation) you'll get the link. I haven't been with them for a while... Since v1x of the software. I have an aversion to .NET software, but from what I hear, v3x is a stable, worthy platform.
I do keep in touch with reps there. And although I don't use them currently, I have no issues about recommending them, when appropriate.

I downloaded the demo and I like it. I am opening up an account now. I will update on how the process goes, but I like freebies so not paying for software is big for me, and the published rate is cheaper , not much but a lil cheaper than where I am at now.
But thanks to all who helped!!

That's what I was wondering--I didn't see their rates on their site. Thanks for the info. I will take a look.

Direct Fills (Man) is about half the price of OPen E cry I mean mentally cheap BUT thier platform I didnt feel offered that much and IB is Cheaper as well and you have a choice of front ends and you can trade around the world from the one account.
Open E Cry are going that way as well though and I am using them and like them because before long they will have access to SFE HKFE and Singapore. Thier rates could come down a bit though. Also soon have access to Sierra and mulicharts.
Their DOM and advanced order management is still behind joints like transact who have a great platform and the really cool brakeeven function. If you just wanted to trade the US they might be worth a serious look.
Cheers
P.S. I still think 2.50 each side is the most we should have to pay.
