That doesn't seem too bad as long the executions, service etc. are decent. I am happy with my IB account but I like to split my accounts among a few different brokers - just in case...

They seem to change their price structure a lot. I hope I wouldn't sign up only to find they revert back to $16 per ticket and $150/mo data fees after a few months.

One thing I read that confused me. They said in the FAQ that they accept IRA futures accounts. How does that work? I though you could only trade futures in a marginable account?

2. What account types can I open, and how do I get the account forms?
