In the futures market, traders must
pay a spread and/or a commission. With futures brokers, average commissions
can run close to $160 per trade on positions of $100,000 or greater.

clearing fees, which in turn lowers transaction costs. Costs are further
reduced by the efficiencies created by a purely electronic marketplace
that allows clients to deal directly with the market maker, eliminating
