Holy guacamole, that is big. Most of my trades I exit with a limit. That's a pretty big swing from paying $2.95 to getting $1.95 for me.

Hi Justin,

My understanding is that a server based takeprofit is also a limit order. Can you confirm that this will also pay the $1.95 per $100k. That would imply that if I make a $100k trade and it closes out at TP, my total trade cost is $1.00(2.95 - 1.95) as opposed to $5.90?

Thanks

Kenny

We get rebates (or at least free transaction) for making (being first on the bid/offer) the market? That would be revolutionary in retail space and reflect what institutions enjoy.
Wow, I guess I was right about something . This is HUGE (not the fact that I was right, but rebates for making the market).

Yes, if you use the MT4 platform and enter a trade at the market and then close with a Take Profit, your math is correct. Also, if you entered with a Pending Limit and then have a Take Profit, you would get paid both ways.

Justin: are there volume breaks for price makers as well - like there are for price takers already?

"The term "Payment for Limit Order" refers to a non-market order which is not immediately executable and rests on the internal limit order book for some period of time, thus adding liquidity when another order of equal or greater value fills with the resting order"

what about partial fills ?

No. We feel 1.95 is very generous and went right to our limit from the get go.

Tar,

Partial or not doesn’t matter. The only thing that matters is whether you posted a Limit order up. Any piece or total of that order that gets filled, you get paid.

Justin, this is really quite amazing. I've wondered for a while why MBT didn't do something like this to showcase your technology. I don't think there are many other brokers that COULD do this, much less would want to. This really shows that you guys are what you have always said. It should bring you guys into the limelight where you belong.
