Any Sec Fees With E-minis

  1. WHEN TRADING THE E-MINIS ARE THERE ANY SEC OR CFTC FEES -- IF SO. IF i TRADED 50 S&P E-MINIS - WHAT WOULD THE FEE BE ?? THANKS
     
  2. Typical costs for emini trading would be
    Software cost +Exchange+Clearing fee = $2.32 RT anything over that is brokers profit. UNLESS you rent the software monthly like $550 for Jtrader or $650 for TT. Then costs are 1.32RT over that would be your brokers cut.
     
  3. THANKS - HOW ARE THE NFA FEES CALCULATED ???
     
  4. CME fees 2.28$ rt
    NFA fees 0.04$ rt

    Software fee for JTrader, FFastfill, EasyScreen, RTS or TT depends on broker´s price schedule and is in addition to the above 2.32$. It may be a fixed monthly fee or shown seperately or included in their commission. Typically costs for software are calculated as 1.00$ rt for JTrader and 0.50$ for EasyScreen. FFastfill and TT are in general shown as fixed monthly fees. They use a different technology (W2K server with Citrix client) than the others.
