I use Online Options, Stock and Futures Investing at optionsXpress, and I pay about $14.95 per trade on commission for 9 contracts or less. At 10 or more, they charge $1.50 per contract. And I do most of my trades during the day. I guess the advantage is that I get to wait for a better price...

I sold DNA calls for a loss of ($1,019.90). I sold RIG puts at $1.80 for a loss ($909.90). They had SYNA calls and GOOG calls for earnings last Thursday and I was able to make a nice gain of $460.10 on GOOG calls and $820 gain on SYNA calls. So I made back some of the losses. My gains are now...

Well, I started with $20,000 in September and have used about 10% or less. I just looked back at my account and I used about $1500 on some trades and about $2200 on others. I only used over $4000 like twice, so nothing over 20% per trade. I think its more towards 5-15% depending on how I like...

Yeah, they've increased to 4 or 5 now. I'm subscribed to universal and earnings. I just bought the etf option.....they made a killing in their performance for that new service. Looks like they hit some 200% gains in DIA puts and SRS calls. So I just subscribed to that service too at $89 a month...
