- Exact all-in round trips are twice Edge Clear's published total per side: MES/MNQ 2 × $0.69 = $1.38; MCL 2 × $1.06 = $2.12; MGC 2 × $1.16 = $2.32.
- The published total includes commission, exchange and NFA, and the stated transaction fee.
- Day margin is account-specific; Edge Clear says ES starts at 50% of initial margin and can be reduced to 25%, so no dollar value is recorded.
- Edge Clear itself charges no inactivity fee, although the selected clearing firm may charge one.
Watch out for
- Exchange market-data subscriptions are separate from the quoted commission rates and must be paid in addition.
- Platform and feed costs vary depending on which integration you select, so the total cost depends on your platform choice.
- Edge Clear does not charge an inactivity fee, but the clearing firm you use may charge one — check with your clearing firm.
- Day-trade margin is account-specific with no published dollar values; ES day margin starts at 50% of initial margin and can go as low as 25%, so actual margin requirements will vary by account.
