It is my pleasure to welcome Mike Murphy & Brandon Barr @ Ironbeam for our 397th webinar event, on Thursday, August 6th @ 4:30 PM Eastern US. This webinar was originally scheduled for July 23rd, and now rescheduled for August 6th.
The title for the event is "Live Video Ask Me Anything w/Ironbeam Brokerage Team", and bullet points include:
- Who is Ironbeam & What Trading Solutions and Technology Does Ironbeam Offer
- Free Platform and CME Market Data for 2020
- No Account Minimums
- SPAN margins across all products
- Learn About Our Direct FCM Relationship
- Live Q&A Video Panel w/ Ironbeam Directors
Thanks for reaching out. We treat every customer individually and set up everything custom per account from a platform, margin, and commission standpoint. We work with a wide range of customer types; the customer who's running an algorithm colocated at the CME datacenter is going to have vastly different requirements from us than the farmer who just needs to sell come corn contracts 8 months out and hold.
Typically we just have a brief conversation with our prospective customers and figure out what their goals are and what kind of margins and software they need from us to be the most successful and we will send them a commission proposal from there.
I've attached our fee schedule along with a dummy commission schedule. We give futures.io members very competitive rates.

My NinjaTrader license was purchased in July, 2016. As a Canadian customer, Ninja referred me to GFF as my IB with trades executed by IRONBEAM, and a $10/mo Ninjatrader patform cost. As I'm understanding the costs in the business and shopping for a new broker, I realize that I'm paying too much on round-turn commissions with GFF.
In addition to featuring your Firetip X platform on Thursday's webinar, please show us how to keep our costs down while using our chosen trading platforms. Would you break down the costs for me using NT and being a Canadian trader?
Direct Ironbeam customers do not incur additional costs based of where they are located (we don't charge Canadian customers anything extra).
I can't speak for Introducing Brokers or other firms as they control their own commission rates. So I unfortunately wouldn't be able to outline their costs for you. Your best bet would be to call the broker for an explanation, I am sure they would be happy to help.

other brokers seem to have offers or offer free trading platforms eg sierra charts, multicharts etc which make them attractive.. is there any plan for that by ironbeam in the near future? Firetip X doesnt seem have on advanced chart trading with OCO brackets if not mistaken. Also do you set up SIM accounts for your clients?
