Commission Free Trading with Key2Options and Tradier Brokerage

Huge leaps in computing power are transforming modern finance in ways that few have ever imagined.  Key2Options is an institutional grade software program designed to allow both retail and professional traders the ability to backtest trading strategies using historical stock and options data without having any knowledge of computer programming.

Large hedge funds and financial institutions have been quant trading for years. They had the money and the computing power to crunch the numbers and discover pattern recognition. Algorithmic trading can be expensive depending on the frequency of the system. Profitable quantitative models can be turn to losses when commission cost are applied. If, for example, you only have $1,000 to invest in a trade and you're using a discount broker that charges $20 per trade, 2% of the value of your trade is eaten away by the commission fee when you first enter your position. When you eventually decide to close out of your trade, you will likely pay another $20 commission fee, which means that the round-trip cost of the trade is $40, or 4% of your initial cash amount. That means that you will need to earn at least a 4% return on your trade before you break even and can begin to make a profit.
