Something to do with how your trades are routed. If you use a route where you not only remove liquidity but also remove liquidity from another exchange then you pay extra fees. I am not really qualified to answer your question but I hope it leads you to a better answer.
Since Rule NMS was instituted, and the NYSE does not have a complete "Do Not Ship" (DNS) order type in place, you may very well have had your orders shipped to ARCA or another ECN for possible better pricing. I suggest you print out your sheets, and go over them with your Firm, they will explain it all to you. Don
One of us needs a new calculator. Mine says you are paying 10X the amount of your agreement, for example on the purchase and sale of 7,500 shares: 15000/(300+249)=.0366 not .00366
