No disrespect,but people are gonna call bullshit when you state that you are an amateur,just getting started and 2 month ago you were a passive investor> trading 1 lots>quick learner,and are now swinging 200 lots multiple times per day...

Doesn't add up

I also found it weird his quest of “Private Broker account” ... and the fact that he did not approach TDA to renegotiate his commission rates— I have done it very successfully with a much much smaller volume ....
 
Thanks for clarifying. Wasn't aware how cheap these can be.

For those of us that don't trade futures, would 200 lots be the same as trading 10,000 shares of AAPL?

I have negotiated it... down to $1.0 on their side. What is yours?

That is perfectly fine. If this is that important you can watch me stream and see my lots being sold and bought in real time.

Agree. I am a small potato relatively to OP's big account yet when I called Schwab, they reduced my options commission from $0.25 per contract to $0.00.

As I suggested in my prior post, OP should have a conversation with TDA.

you started at 25 cents? I had my options reduced from 65 cents to 25 cents, and my futures from $2 or whatever it is by default to $1

I'm not privy on the stock futures thing totally, but last I recall, 1 stock future is 100 shares of the stock. So 200 contracts on AAPL futures would be 20,000 shares. That's a lot of shares on leverage.

Where do you stream your trades? I'm not a doubter (what's the point?), but would be interested to see what someone's workflow looks like when they're trading at your volume.

It doesn't work like that, 1 stock option is 100 shares. There are no futures for individual stocks.
