don't know what the policy at tda (former tos) is now but i don't think they're as willing to negotiate individual rates as tos was - correct me if i'm wrong anyone who's tried this recently



TD are scumbags. Just a marketing organization. imho

Quote from FSU:

Another thing to note is that TOS commissions include any exchange fees, so if you are trading the SPX, OEX, or VIX options (which have high exchange fees), you may be paying less than other brokers.



Good point. I'm sure there are platforms are the large I banks which have lower rates, just not there, yet.

With your volume you should be paying around 50 cents per contract with other brokers

1.00 per contract is a high rate these days

Have you looked at other brokers ?

Maybe there is something special about tos you can't live without ?
