200 round trip per month is more or less my average and is not considered "big volume".Surely is not enough for CME membership.

Tried to contact them, it's another Dorman IB managed by Pratik Patel which also has tradingfutures4less.com and cvfutures.com, all with different commissions. A bit strange.

It's an IB for Dorman, what matters is the FCM.
If you want Zenfire, it's cheap compared to for example tradefutures4less.com

Mike,
granted it is like that, but my question is: HOW MUCH?
