So far I've found the following: Good brokerages (under 10c all in): Robinhood: The only truly free broker I've found, 0c / contract Firstrade: Only charges the 3.9c / contract regulatory fee Webull: Charges the 3.9c / contract fee + 4.5c OCC fee, total of 8.4c / contract Gatsby: Charges 4.2c / contract regulatory fee + 5 cent fee, total of 9.2c / contract 1 other broker that is supposedly free but overcharges on fees: dough: Charges 3.8c / contract regulatory fee, overcharges 10c / contract for clearing, total of 13.8c / contract Are there any other brokers available that don't charge a per contract fee? Passing through the regulatory/OCC fees are fine, overcharging for clearing like dough does is too costly. Also, just as any FYI to anyone who doesn't already know, for the most part every broker sells options order flow to citadel/a handful of other options market makers, so the brokerage you use has little impact on the execution since it all ends up at the same place. The exception are brokers like interactive brokers/lightspeed who make money just off the commissions. So paying some broker like etrade 65c / contract is a massive ripoff. I've reviewed 606 disclosures for at least a dozen brokerages and they ALL sell your order flow to Citadel (and other market makers). I'm also doing a high volume strategy where a few cents per contract make a big difference at the end of the month.
I looked them up, am I missing something or are they not an options brokerage at all? It seems like their business model is to charge people fees to keep their money in ETFs.
