Un sustainable fees!

RUOK?

 

Maybe trading isn't for you then

 

bundled/unbundled.

 

You're ok with paying 1.25 per contract? Its not a big deal if you're trading 1 lots lol. D is paying 0.15... is trading not for him either? I will only be placing options trades on IBKR going forward.

 

I pay 0.09 when I add liq.

 

No it's a pretty big amount. Well I only trade options. I have no idea how you day trader guys do it

 

I left IB for the very same reasons..

I was paying 6 bucks per fly,each way.Not all the time,but enough...

Im at TOS/Schwab and Im paying close to what Poopster is paying.

Trading flys /1x3x2's at at IB numbers was/is prohibitive.

 

Yeah but in Canada IB is the best and only option afaik where you can get .15-.65 depending instead of 1.25. I was able to get .75 with TD when it was TOS.

 

Well, I am paying only exch and regulatory. Schwab is still a hard floor at $0.2 +reg/exchange.

 

you claimed that you paid 15 cents commission on option trades, and gave a ib schedule. i am saying that only option premium is less than 5 cents can qualify the lowest tier commission, which is still more than 15 cents. for 5 cents premium, $5 gross, it is way out of money and not even a trading strategy.
