What were your/my Fees + Commissions per share?

Quote from ps0013:

Today I traded:

91,374 shares

$759.53 total fees+commission=

.0083 c per share

What did you pay today??????

What is your broker or firm?
 
That's pretty high. Yesterdays data...

212,000 shares
$1030 comm+fee

=.0049

Even my rate is a bit high for this day in age.
 
You shouldn't really be paying more than .005/share if you are trading that many shares. I average around .005 for the year and trade millions of shares/year. I may switch to a lower commission broker if I can negotiate it (currently using IB).

Any suggestions? I tend to remove liquidity though.

Dustin, thanks your post is exactly what I was hoping to see, but very few responses...I was just lowered to .005 com w/out any other fees...I'll see what it looks like in a week. Ialso seem to be taking liquidity all of the time, so I guess I will see if I can add without changing my style too much...where do you stand with the liquidity issue?

If you're moving 2mil (ie 100k/day) in vol/month that rate is too high. .005 or better can be had.

5mil you can get sub .002

But you may have other requirements:

License, BP, platform fees?

Definitely can get lower if this is a consistent share per day activity
