the solution:
return to the likes of Merrill Lynch,
oops, even they don't exist,
shops like that, that charged outrageous commissions (like the guy who just commented what it cost, in addition to $47 per side comms) for data feeds and per side commissions, don't exits either
I have never understood the need to charge high margins, other than to push the risk of "taking risk trades" further on the side of those willing to take risk (customers), instead of using technology to help manage risk and make it affordable (like what Mirus does / did / do).
IB charges $1,000 margin per side, when other brokerages offer $400 margin. Any long term trader (not the idiots that blow their accounts) knows how to handle leverage. Its their money, but the brokers / margin setters / clearing agents, can't wait for it to change hands, preferably into theirs.
An experienced trader can purchase at most:
5 cars at $400 margin (requiring $2,000 of his balance and another $1500 of his balance for stoploss)
4 cars at $500 margin (requiring $2,000 of his balance ....
2 cars at $1000 margin (requiring $2,000 of his balance ....
0 cars at 50% exchange margin
one has to always ask, why does the other guy participate at the table, and for customers, this is one of the decision chains that they're taught or learn to negotiate in how to allocate funds to take on risk on a trade.
after all, its a waste of time and effort to spends tens of thousands of dollars in learning, software, accounts, computers, software and additional data feeds to only take 1 car trades (presuming one has already achieved consistency) for 1 ES point for a net total of $50, when one is completely capable of 4 cars or staying in the trade longer for 4 points ($200). So even using that conservative basis (no time-frame mentioned, just to be objective, so this could be all day position or an hour or 15 minutes, etc) if one earns:
1 car for 1 ES point = $50
or
4 car for 4 ES point = $800
then that risk management and trades allocation assessment should never be confused with, how did you say: "
