WHY DOESN'T Interactive Brokers rebate traders for adding liquidity?????

If you trade alot of volume and you are an active liquidity adder, wouldn't the rebates add alot to your performance.
 
Not sure, probably not though. How about you research it and update us, oh say, next month about this time, with any information you find? Sounds good to me.

It would also be just and fair if they charged for taking away liquidity and charged ECN fees like most other brokers. Every time I hear about another broker that is supposed to have commissions as low as Interactive Brokers I check it out. By the time I work my way through their convoluted fees and charges, they are much more expensive for the way I trade. IB has a very simple structure that apparently is profitable for them, and is very easy for their customers to deal with. I probably add liquidity more than I take it, but I still much prefer the simple commissions - I can execute wherever I want, whenever I want, and know exactly what my commissions will be.

Are you asking us or telling us? Aren't you supposed to be shamelessly self-promoting your firm? You had better work harder.

Well, who is then?
 
There are firms that offer all in rates with liquidity rebates, and sub 1 dollar rates on options, deal with that IB, Cybercorp etc, it is simply the truth!!!!!!!
