ES and MES commissions increase?

[Ace_Rothstein]

Did commissions go up .05 per contract today? I saw CME increased fees but no notice that IB was doing the same.

If exchange fees went up, it will soon follow brokers' fees do the same. Price go up EVERYWHERE... inflation, inflation, inflation... government said so. (The $USD used to be worth $1.00. Now it's worth ~ $0.04. That's the way it is... cope as best you can.)

CME fees <> commissions.

CME fees <> commissions.

Of course , but IB total commission include exchange fees.
You think brokers wouldn't pass the exchange fees increase to their customers?

ugh, I misread my sheets, nevermind. IB's base rates stayed the same, only CME fees increased (which IB passed on).
