I was paying $9.99 plus $.75 / contract normally at TD Ameritrade when I first began selling options. That is their standard commission.

I only got the better rate ($8) once I started selling 4+ options per month or so.

 

 

 

Thank you everyone, for your input on this.  It sounds like it costs around $8 or $9 total to make a trade.

I see that you have negotiated lower prices when you could.  Do you find that a couple of dollars plus or minus makes a significant difference in your returns?
