Yeah.. commissions suck.
I trade the treasuries and trade about 500-600 rt per month. Am I getting a good deal at 3.14$ all-inclusive?
Just wondering if anyone can reco some other broker with cheaper commissions.

Commissions are a JOKE!
Are you guys getting out after 1-2 ticks?!
That's ridiculous.
I'll admit over $10 is high, if it's disount biz, but still.
$3 or $5 or $7. I never understood this.
WHO are these people who NEED three bucks a trade to be profitable? It's a fine line for some, I guess

Commissions kill.
Take the treasuries for example, it cost 1.14$ per round in total to place the trade. Anything above that goes to the broker. I pay $3.14 per round turn.
If I trade 500 round turn a month, a $0.50 discount per round would mean $250 savings a month. $3000 a year. That could pay off rent for a couple of months. I don't care who you are, it all adds up.
I rather bargin for cheaper commissions and be a tightwad for this somewhat insignificant monies and put those savings into my pocket.
I'm not thinking about the short game. I want to make this a career.

With prices of shares coming down so much, it cost > 2 times to put on the same position.
You should try prop firm trading. I pay approx 35 cents per 100 shares and trade leveraged ETFs. I trade with Next Level Trading. Check out Gil's blog: www.listentoyourchart.com. Pretty good stuff IMO
