Today is really slow so far so I was looking over some stats for year to date. The fees really suck, but hopefully over the years they will continue to drop.

Up days =72%
Avg Up Day = $1064
Avg Down Day = $797
% Commissions of Gross = 27.5%
% All Fees (Comm/SEC/ECN) of Gross = 44%
% of Days >$1k = 35%
% of Days <-1k = 7.5%

And today's results are attached...

I'm even worse, haha.

Last month commission was 50.5% of gross, and all fees were 57% (I dont trade much nasdaq)

You must trade through IB? Your fees over comms are only 6.5% whereas mine are 16.5% over.
 
when the fees were really hi, i had an account with cyber and it cost me 20 bucks each way, I barely came out + for the yr and had to find a better deal.

with comms. that hi, I am shock that u guys even make the big bucks.

btw, I am homebase trading my own account.

good trading.

LOL, no. My fees are so low because it's basically all SEC (very little ECN/NASD trading). My comms are high for the volume but I get a lot of things in return that other firms dont even consider offering.
 
made this today and another 1400 and change on rebating EAG all day at .19. Not a bad day considering I worked for a total of about 2 hours.

mk, don't the rebates get paid 15 days after the quarter ends? are you counting those profits today?

I'm still reevaluating my trading. Not feeling it. Lost about 800 today on open positions. I'm holding AAPL and NTRI for a while until I figure out how to get back in the game.

My new rules will be implemented soon. Yesterday's big loss has really got me thinking.
