what firm's interests are you representing (now it's more clear)
2/10 is done plenty of places. the problem with your situation if you dont mind me posting this (i read some of your other posts now so i'm more familiar with your situation) is that you're going through a broker who is then going through the clearing firm. you're like the third middleman after the brokerage firm and clearing house. That's why 2/10 seems low to you. For Hold 2/10 is not low at all! and to repeat myself for the umpteenth time, yes, my rate is .0035, all inclusive, I do ok volume, around 80-200 and no I'm not "in with the boss", people in this business will want to make money off you no matter if your his godson, there's no free lunch so that's not a myth. ETrade Professional's rate IS .0045 ALL INCLUSIVE, ON SITE, not a base rate, and it's for PROP AND RETAIL. If you want I'll give you the number of the guy who runs the group there and you can confirm it for yourself, Sorry about Pointdirex, I didn't check it out like you did. And, now you probably think I trade at Etrade pro, well, sorry bud, I don't. Why does it bug you so much where I trade? There's 3 or firms that self-clear, and I have friends at all these places getting rates around these levels.
Read your own post, it says .0035, all inclusive.
man you are persistent. why does it matter? tell me how you trade, what kind of style and why you parted ways with lynx? pm me if you want.
