Have you considered leasing a membership?
How much monthly volume do you do and what rate are you looking for?
You can email me what you need and I'll see if I can help.

If you run volume, a lot is possible, talk to Lightspeed and they will make you a better deal compared to Interactive Brokers.
My volume is not enough to get personalized deals.
Just wanted to know if there are any low cost brokers that work with any retail traders.

When you're done moaning about IB being too high (which is, when your research shows you just how inexpensive IB is), you should run a side-by-side comparison between ES and SPX options, focusing on bid-ask spreads and hour-by-hour volume, per strike.

They ARE expensive, Robinhood is free, Firstrade moved to free, that's the trend.

We have a number of clearers who could possibly lower your day trading margins, and since you are day trading, we could possibly lower your commissions as well.
you are clueless - especially when talking options.
