Ask Advantage to make a personal offer for you. They will give you something better than what is shown on their website.

If you trade size, ALWAYS ask a quote. Standard prices are for small volume traders.

At Tradovate, you could select our Commission Free for $199 prepaid annually or $349 on a month to month basis.

The fees are only $1.34 per side. If you trade 2000 sides on the annual plan ($199/2000 = 0.0995), let's call it $0.10. Therefore, your average total cost all-in per side would be $1.44 or $2.88 per round turn. This plan is hard to beat if you are trading volume.

I am interested as well. Do you onboard international investors? And what about ring fenced segregated accounts for larger investors?

your assets and cash are not pooled with other client's. You have your own box at the custodian.

I trade similar size and have been using Amp but am not entirely happy. Any communication to discuss with them has been difficult to progress. When I was trading prop, we had Goldman Sachs as a broker and were on $0.50 per side. God knows what the firm were getting before they slapped on their profits. Looking for a change also. I need Sierra Charts integration for chart and execution though, so thats why I'm still with Amp. IB are seriously expensive in my mind and margins are massive, then add in when they increase over high volatility events its massive. I think it was as high as $17k to $20k margin per CL contract around May 2020.

Take a look at Sierrafutures, a division from Stage 5. Lower e-mini commissions compared to AMP as well. Or you can go directly with Advantage (Sierrafutures uses Advantage Futures to clear with).

However i haven't explored that myself just yet so i don't know what kind of customer service or commission rates you can get at Advantage.
