commissions

For many traders, commissions are a cornerstone. Because often it is the commissions that affect the amount of profit. Here is a personal example. My trading strategy is based on principle of opening a large number of orders. I closed these orders at a slight movement in right direction. To make the profit I had to use a large lot size. But commissions took away half of the profit. My previous broker had big commissions and that's why I closed my account there and now I trade here. Here there are no commissions and I get almost twice as much profit.
