Direct routing options - rebates for adding liquidity?

  1. Curious if you get rebates for adding liquidity on options trading similar to stock trading?

    Which brokers offer rebates? I believe Lightspeed does. Are there any others?

    Interactive Brokers, regular commision is .65 per contract, but many times I've gotten charged .20 per, and on rare occasions I've gotten a rebate, I've heard you can can change the default route setting to max rebate, I have not done so.
     
  4. Must admit I'm a bit confused on IB. They actually charge $1 per contract for any direct routed option and then you incur the exchange fee/rebate accordingly.....
