ECN credits

got and offer from a prop firm they offer rebate of 2.90$ per 1000 shares on EDGX 2.40$ on ARCA and 2$ on INET
is this a good deal ?
 
Really depends on what else they offered you. I have heard very good and some bad about them. PM me for details. But all in all good place to start

The pass throughs seem fine.

Keep in mind that most traders who used to "provide" liquidity are not doing it any longer....flash trades, sub penny type, have made it so that it makes no sense for most. Our "providing" percentage has been cut by 70% at least in recent months. Unless things change with regulations, it will only get worse.

My point is don't count on making net money by providing liquidity these days...better off in many cases to hit bids and take out offers (vis the cheapest route of course) - to avoid being picked off.

FWIW,

Don
