I didn't even realize that. I'll have to give them a jingle to see what I they can do. I didn't see a flat rate commission schedule, but I'm sure they can match it. I'd love to be able to nail out these larger number of contract trades on the mini's without the massive commission expense. When doing trades on the mini's I'm tacking in about .10 to .30 on a $1 spread, when paying per contract it's adding up to be pretty expensive. Thanks again! -rb John, thanks!
