Cheapest broker on ag futures ?

TraDaToR · Mar 15, 2007

I've been to the CBOT list of agricultural futures brokers :
http://www.cbot.com/cbot/pub/page1/1,3248,1055+2+11,00.html

I found that some random broker , http://www.eaglemarketmakers.com/uc.htm is proposing a
2.24 $ per side( they say 1.92 but exchange fees have changed )

This firm and their website looks weird. What are you thinking?

I am thinking the old adage. Never judge a book by it's cover.

The Best SCAMS come in the prettiest coverings.

I find this unlikely unless you're an exchange member or doing an *INSANE* volume. CBOT's fee alone is $3.50 round trip on ag futures. I find it hard to believe open ecry will clear you, place your trades, and let you hold for $.15 each way.

Yes. Open ecry was giving a special a few months back and they were offering $3.80 round trip for emini's. With free charting. If you don't believe us, then call them yourself. I think their regular rates are only $5.00 round trip without the special. They also have a chat program built into their free charting software they give you, in case you have questions.

Good grief, man.

You're in the *AG FUTURES* forum.

Hello,

I've been interested in trading electronic ag futures lately, and I would like to know what the best level of commissions you can have on CBOT products for example.

I trade with TS with 3.03 $ per side at the time.

Thanks for your advices.

I just got a quote from Global Futures thats under $6 roundtrip for Ags

Hi,

Could you please advise the fee of 6$ per round turn from Global Futures is per contract or regardless the number of contracts you trade?

Thanks!

Thanks for the information. Finally, I'm happy with what I get. There is no real difference among big brokerage firms.
