I don't agree. A trader who can trade 2000 contracts a month profitably, shows he knows how to trade. Has nothing to do with knowledge about how to get lower fees. I had the same problem long time ago. Had to find out about CME membership, lease or not lease a seat, find cheaper brokers.... Chech this out, can safe you a lot of money (contact Optimus and ask them to explain you): https://www.cmegroup.com/company/membership/individual/cme.html#pricing https://optimusfutures.com/CME-Lease.php https://www.discounttrading.com/commission-rates.html
Check Tradestation, can go to $1.5 per contract per side (If you are eligible for their zero commission as a US customer/resident).
