IB MES commissions today

Why did you switch to an introducing broker and not stay direct?

Well, I didn't even really know that they were acting as an introducing broker, IB and def told me so. Just google for C2 Gateway and you will find almost nothing. I never saw or signed a list of fees and commission. And they did not give me the choice to use Interactive Brokers directly.


I do not know if this is legal or not, but for sure very unethical!

Sadly c2 became the milk the cow place. Except a couple of managers and their tech, overall value is 0. I always thought why IB doesn't step in social trading, creating their own infrastructure and cut off these bugs.

Anyone from the UK using IB UK for micro futures trading?
I know that certain US brokers allow UK costumers to trade Micro Futures with a small account (£500 say,) but can you do the same with an IB account where you only wish to trade Micro's for the time being to get used to Futures - via their UK office?
Even better if IB has a platform for the iMac without requiring Parallels etc.

Anyone out there trade MES options @ IB? Commission? I'm partially at Schwab and thinking of moving money to IB as Schweab doesnt offer, astonishingly, VIX options or MES options.

At IB, for MES and MNQ, the price is 52 cents, so $1.04 for the round trip.

I paid 47 cents for MES and 52 cents for MNQ. If they charge MES more, that can't be right.
