define 'affordable'.

open an account with $5K and it halves the platform fees. Trade a bit & the fees almost disappear.

What's affordable to one may not be to another though...

I am not looking to trade through them. I guess I didn't explain myself properly. I just want to be able to back test so any suggestions?

Thanks again.

If you are not trading through them then it is about $150 per month plus exchange fees
