Got charged negative commission at IB? (I got paid to trade?)

Thanks that makes it clear. I guess my previous brokerages were just pocketing the rebates for themselves and charging me the regular commissions.

 

To my knowledge, IB is the only retail broker to pass through option exchange and ECN rebates and fees from the maker/taker model. Remember, your other broker was eating the fees when you took liquidity. Institutional brokers offer this too.

and I hope you were joking in pretending you are too dumb to understand the question. Jeez.
