Think or Swim is great but their commissions on (micro) futures are horrible

Nice! I thought one of the problems with discount brokers is their accounts are not insured. Not that it matters, if you ever get to that point even getting the insured amount back will never happen.

 

For span margin on the micros.

 

"Free" lol.

 

You should be able to negotiate if you have decent trade volume. Talk to the trade support desk.

 

Leverage. Spy ties up more money.

 

have you been successful in negotiating the commission through the support desk?

 

Yes but I don't want to say how much I pay let's just say fairly little. I used to have 10k on just futures commies and I approached twice to get what I wanted.

 

ok.
most of us would be too shy to ask for a reduction in the commission.

 

As Alfie Solomons said "Big fucks small.....always"

 

So that's who RunDMC bought their hats from.
