Futures trading commissions

Trade futures at very low commissions

The commission (before any volume discount) is only € 1,90. When you trade, say, one mini-DAX future, you trade € 80.000 (assume a DAX at 16.000). A € 1,90 commission on € 80.000 is only 0,002%! The same calculation for the Mini Dow Jones Future results in a commission of only 0,001%.

You can recoup this tiny commission immediately.. When the Mini-Dax goes up by 1 point, you have a € 5 profit.

Before you compare commissions...

compare real-time quotes. Do not trade futures if your broker does not give you tick-by-tick quotes. Trading based on 1/2 second snapshot quotes, will cost you a fortune in inferior order execution.

At no extra cost we provide real tick-by-tick quotes. More than that, we pass on the quotes at the price the exchange charges us.

Choose your commission

Choose a pack or select your own combination of platform, quotes and historical data.

Free and discount packs

Trading on the Eurex and Euronext exchanges can be added to the FREE Quotes pack for € 25 and € 60 per month respectively.

If you trade more than 40 futures per calendar month (about one trade per day), you automatically get the discount of -14% on the commission. If the minimum of 40 lots is not reached a fee of € 40 is due.

Combine your own pack

These are three classic combinations. The NanoTrader Full platform is highly recommended. Other platforms such as Atas, Volfix, Sierracharts or Ninjatrader are available.

¹ CQG = 3 months intraday and 3 years end of day data for all futures. VWD = up to 5 years intraday and up to 15 years end of day data for the 55 most traded futures. The VWD advantages are the long history and the fact that the charts of all the expired futures are compiled into one long chart. This allows long technical analysis and the back-testing of trading strategies.

² For futures in $, the commission is charged as $ 1,90 or $ 2,20. The commission is per lot per side.

Traders, who do not manage the risk on their open positions, will be charged a commission of € 50 per lot per side if our desk is forced to intervene and place orders to bring the account back within the standard risk parameters.

The monthly totals in the tables above do not include the € 13 for high-speed order routing services provided by the CQG network.

WHS reserves the right to apply an administrative charge of € 15 per quarter on client accounts which have not executed an order within the last 12 months.

To have direct market access, high speed order routing and tick-by-tick market data, traders use CQG technology. The broker debits the routing fee and passes it on to this technology provider. CQG offers up to 1.000 ticks per second. The traded market volume is the most precise available.

CQG wishes a monthly fee of € 13. This fee is included and is visible in the debit of the pack price on the account statement.

High-volume traders can opt for a flat fee of € 395 per month instead of the 0,50 per lot per side.
