To those trading futures at a prop

[6ptPrime]

To those of you currently trading or who have traded futures at prop firms or arcades, can you post what your round trip commisions are/were (all-in, including all fees, etc), and what your other overhead costs are (news, desk fee, etc.)

I'm looking at various prop firms and am wondering a) what the typical fees are and b) which places tend to have the best rates.

Any info provided is much appreciated.

Thanks

Why would anybody need to trade futures prop? The leverage is not good enough already? just curious. Also what are some places that trade futures prop exclusively?

Only reason to daytrade futures at a prop is to lower commissions and get bigger intraday leverage if you wanted it.
