just to save the op and everyone else a lot of time and energy afaik, no broker offers a lower per contract commission (0.60) w/ NO ticket charge than lightspeed. e option is 0.10 per contract however there is a 3 ticket charge. pls correct me if i'm wrong.
There are indeed lower comms than $.6 per contract w/ no per-ticket charge, but for consistently high volume clients, and (I'm guessing) not from the types of brokers you're talking about in this thread -- rather, from brokers more on the instututuional side that require several hundred thousand (or more) to open a new account. Such accounts tend to be pass-through accounts that pass on the ECN/exchange fees/rebates to the customer.
