IB - commission - EUREX

Hello,

I'm trading Bund options (OGBL) and using IB. It it better to use bundled or unbundled when I make ~500 rt/month?

And trading options over IB you can use the SMART feature or direct routing. What's the best choice for the best fill?

Thanks

 

it depends if you trade intraday or keep overnight and how long you keep them ... it's a simple math thing ... use those braincells ...

 

I know it's a math thing but I don't finde the numbers at IBs homepage :-(

No overnight positions, just intraday.

 

then it's simple use unbundled.

 

Hi,

thanks!

So I have to choose SMART routing. With direct routing I won't get the cheaper commissions, right?

 

The routing is no issue when a product only trades on 1 platform (exchange).

And for options you can never choose between bundled/unbundled.

 

Not true these are future options. So unbundled.

 

Ahh, sorry, you're right.

 

Thanks for your help!

So for SPX options routed over CBOE there is unbundled not possible.
For Bund futures options it's possible to get unbundled.
