Hi Derek! Good question. I know “it varies” isn’t the answer you’re looking for, but in all honesty, brokerage commissions and fees vary by broker. Understanding the fee and commission structure is definitely something to make sure to ask if you’re looking at working with a commodity broker. To give you an overall idea, ~$30 per side for a futures trade is not uncommon (i.e. ~$60 a round turn trade).
