It seems that most of us prefer per share fees over tickets. I'm curious to know if there is anyone here who actually makes a living and pays ticket fees (let's say $8 or more per side, not including pass-thru fees), provided : 1)at least 50% of your trades are intraday; 2)you average 10 round trips or more per day; 3)most of those trades aren't LU, ORCL, QQQ, or any other super high volume stocks (over 10 million shares per day).
I definitively prefer tickets. 1) 100% intraday 2) Between 15 and 40 tickets a day. 3) I only trade equities with 1 million exchange shares a day ( 3 mios is better) I do not pay for ECN fees ( 1 $ per ticket) Nor SOES( 50 cents per ticket) + 8,95 $ per ticket.
I pay per share.. I do around 200K shares a day.. 300 tickets or so.. it varies on the fills.. I trade Naz 100.. volume of at least 10M up to 100M a day..
