ReplyDeleteHi Manual,
ReplyDeleteCommissions are a huge part, and in spreads they add up, but margins are much lower cause you are hedged. I think paying between 80-90p per round turn in Fixed income products is good, I pay 84p, although you can get it alot cheaper depending on how much volume you do.
In terms of broker I trade through a prop house, but Global Futures is a good one with good rep too.
