New poll

What are your monthly trading related costs excluding commission?

Total votes: 415
 


What are your fixed (roughly) trading costs, on a month by month basis -- excluding commissions.

This would include platform, software, tools, data, subscriptions and any other related fixed costs that are requirements for your trading. You can also include services like trading rooms or newsletters if you subscribe to them.

Don't include commissions.

Mike

I voted $50 - $100 / month since I'm only paying for one of Sam's VPS and a TraderVue Gold subscription on a regular basis.

other than perhaps high-speed internet costs which are not specific to trading ... maybe 50% of that usage applies to trading and researching trades I have no other trading costs

Cool, both of them have special discounts for futures.io (formerly BMT) Elite Members

Yeah, I know...and that's the reason why it's no more than $50 - $100 / month.

Do we include the INTERNET SERVICE on the poll or just the other expenses?

Like most futures.io (formerly BMT) polls, I leave it fairly ambiguous so every voter defines it for themselves. I think overall it works out fine this way.

Personally, I would not include internet, just like I wouldn't include electricity.
