Globex traders, CME is coming up with this incentive program for lower Globex fees for trading arcades and electronic proprietary trading groups : http://www.cme.com/abt/news/04-35IncentivePricing6225.html For instance, NQ/ES total Globex fees will go down to $0.54 from $1.14 per side. Coupled with IB's new unbundled commissions, this translates into $0.60 savings per side (non-member Globex fees are $1.14/side). The article mentions a savings of $0.44/side--anyway at least, the savings will be in the $0.44-60 range. I wonder if bunch of us get together and form a "virtual trading arcade" group and still continue trading for ourselves as usual. Maybe we can form a non-profit company and pay a yearly membership fee for taking care of filing fees etc. And under such a group/company we can be eligible for these lower fees. First step would be to find out what would be the minimum requirements for being recognized as a trading arcade and electronic proprietary trading group by CME. Any suggestions/ideas? Chinook
