Why Commissions Matter

The more you trade, the more commissions will affect your overall P/L.

For example, if you're trading 100 contracts a day, a dollar per round trip can really add up - That's $100 a day.

If you only trade 2 contract round trips a day, on the other hand, that's $2. 

So, factor that in based on your trading activity when you choose your data provider.
