I thought they withheld a certain %<br /><br />I tried to sign up but there is a line on registration page that is confusing <br />"Exclusive commission rates apply only to trades placed on accounts through U.S. Trading Platforms (thinkorswim)."<br />https://www.tastytrade.com/tt/get-trading?locale=en-CA<br /><br />So do you trade on the US or Canadian platform.

If you open an account and tell them that TastyTrade sent you, you get the special promotion of $1.25 per contract and not order ticket charge.<br /><br />For this website though, I use a flat $1 per contract for the model portfolio as it is a realistically achievable commission schema for everybody in the world. Interactive Brokers has presence in many countries and charges .70 - .75 per contract.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />LTThe Lazy Traderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08598866019359750526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375291312433129989.post-55874062431966440212015-04-18T20:40:21.201-04:002015-04-18T20:40:21.201-04:00Great Blog, I just found it this week and been rea...Great Blog, I just found it this week and been reading the whole thing<br /><br />I assume you are trading with TD if you are Canadian to use the ToS swim platform? If so how did you get $1 fees on Options trading? When I look at their Options fees it is $35+$3.50/contract which is ridiculous. Am I reading it wrong or do you trade with another broker?<br /><br />http://www.tdwaterhouse.ca/document/PDF/forms/521778.pdfAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
