This is me attempting to open 10 options contracts on Interactive Brokers...

Man I don't know, some people seem to enjoy complicating or losing at trading. People actually use ThinkorSwim platform (TD ameritrade / Schwab) to trade futures and they charge like $5.02 round trip for a MICRO futures contract. Even after you tell people this, they put on a smile and keep trading micro's with them and lose thousands and thousands of dollars in fee's for whatever reason they have (I truly don't know), than complain about not being profitable.
Schwab gives significant discounts if you trade large enough size. You can negotiate zero options commission for options for a period (1-2 years typically) and a discounted commission if you are willing to transfer your account.

Fair enough, personally don't like anything about them. Don't like the platform, tried to optimize it. It's for my personally one of the all around worst experiences out of any broker and/or platform I've ever used.

Don't blame you. Their platform is not very user friendly, especially for intraday.

I recently tried Think Or Swim, more intuitive.
