| Pricing | $0.29 per side on micro contracts (USD, per contract per side) · free tier: None as a trading account, but a demo trading environment is offered; platform fee and Level 1 CME market data are $0/month | Commissions as low as $0.15 per side + fees (top volume tier) · free tier: None; promotional '20 Commission-Free Trades' offer, with customers still responsible for exchange, clearing, NFA, data, platform and technology fees |
| Pricing model | Usage-based (per-contract commission, no subscription tiers) | Usage-based (per-side commission, volume-tiered) |
| Best for | Small-account retail traders focused on micro futures (MES, MNQ, MYM, M2K) who want the lowest per-contract cost with no monthly subscription, are content with a browser-and-phone platform, and value free ACH transfers and free Level 1 data. | Moderate-to-high volume futures day traders who already know which charting/execution platform they want, value a CME clearing member and low per-side cost, and are comfortable calculating exchange, data and platform fees themselves. |
| Avoid if | You hold significant capital and need a long, independently reviewed operating record; trade high volumes of e-mini or full-size contracts where volume tiers elsewhere win; require NinjaTrader, TradingView, API or automated execution; want to face a clearing FCM directly; or routinely run positions close to margin. | You want one all-in price on one bundled platform, need equities/ETFs/equity options alongside futures, trade infrequently, or rely on leveraged intraday size through FOMC and major data releases. |

A higher TOP SCORE means more of the evidence favours that platform on this methodology — it is not a recommendation, and it does not account for your specific requirements. Advertisers are never declared the winner of a comparison.
