Advantage Futures - best commissions i have ever seen

  1. WORRY?! No, friend. I haven't worried about anything in some years.

    I post when I'm bored or just waiting to either take a profit or stop out.

    I will affirm that my post contained a very valid point. Very often cheap traders are just plain losers (economically, not morally).

  2. Sorry, I cant help you with that one as I very rarely hold anything overnight.

    Logically, I would think they are saying that if the only trade you pull every so often is a five lot that you hold for three weeks, then they would reserve the right to fit you in a different pricing bracket.

    Hi Doug,

    What is your total commission per side or one complete contract for Emini S&P 500 at Global Futures?

  5. i traded bond futures with them before. only switched because my firm did, everything went well and i would recommend advantage to anyone- may end up re-opening my personal account there as well. i just remember paying something like 32c round trip for bonds. i leased a seat too though so you have to factor that in.

    Hi Najeeb,

    Sorry, I just saw your question about commission. We don't post our rates for platforms other than X_Trader, which is $0.35 per side + exchange fees. I have sent you an email regarding our cost using GSTrader. I can't give you specific costs in this anonymous forum, but I would like to talk to you when you get a chance. I can tell you that our rates are among the lowest that you'll find. Don't forget we have very low margins and I believe we have very good customer service as well. I hope to hear from you.

    Best regards

  8. $300 margin is the equivalent to giving a 16 year old boy a 30 pack of Old Style and making him drive home...

    What is his probability for success?
