Fees/Margins

Instead of having a complex rate structure based on volume or account size, we keep it simple.
Generic Trade is a true deep discount futures firm, charging only 59¢ commission per side for all trades (futures or options on futures) placed on either platform. *The only additional transaction fees are those charged by the exchanges and NFA (ranging from $.18 to $2.17 – subject to change), which apply to all firms. A full description of fees is disclosed through the links below.
Additionally, Generic Trade offers the **lowest possible futures margins allowed by the exchanges and we offer aggressive day trading margins as well.

Finally, we request that all visitors review our additional fee link below to ensure that they are aware of any fees that may be charged (i.e wire fee, liquidation fee, phone orders, platform, stop payment fee, etc.).
