I trade option spreads, so I trade large numbers of contracts. At RH I do not have to pay a per-contract fee, which at other firms comes to maybe...
Beware the per-contract fee on options trades at most brokers. 65 cents per contract on a 200 contract iron condor (50 contracts on each of four...
Yes, Trader99, maybe many options traders will meet that $50,000 account requirement for free ZeroPro. Thanks for mentioning that real trading...
Thanks, trader99. It looks like there are monthly fees for some, though, with Tradezero America. This is from an 08/05/2019 review on...
