How to get cheaper commission

[Dazz]

Two comments:
1. Hopefully at one point you can "graduate towards the ES" where the transaction costs are much smaller fraction compare to tick size vs the MES.
2. Try us @ Cannon Trading or PM me and get a commission quote based on the platform you are looking to use, volume etc. - we can compete with anyone out there as an Independent Introducing Broker. Probably the best set up for the client now days as we clear 6 diff. FCMs and can find the best one per your specific needs.

Hopefully you can point out that Cannon does not trade with Cannon anymore.

I was looking at leasing an IOM seat to reduce my commissions and CME has the historical purchase prices for these seats back to 1990. Right now the seats are worth $30K, but back in 2008, it was over $500K. in 1990, the price was around $100K. Same with CME seats which was $1.5M in 2008, and now only $400K. these prices fluctuate a lot. Does anyone know why?

supply and demand....

Leasing a seat is probably best option, depending on your volume, specific markets you trade etc.
I can help if needed.
