    depends on term and delta.

    The difference between OESX and the shit you're trading is the open interest.
    you have round about 30m-100m OI in the OESX so even when you're looking at 40ct spreads (which is 4€ notional btw. since the multiplier is 10€) you'll get executed at midpoint for the most part. Volume is about 200k-500k contracts per term per day.

    When you trade options as retail you have to pay attention to execution cost. Trade the liquid stuff. Stay away from ODAX and FDAX. If you don't know what you're doing, this thing rips you a second asshole

  6. i see that it"s 0.3 commission for mini options at IB
    so that's 30 euros for a 100, damn that's steep
    might need to look for a second broker if i'm going this route
