HIGHLAND PARK, Ill. - eTradeWire -- Generic Trade, a leading discount brokerage specializing in online futures and options trading, marks its 15th anniversary of offering one of the industry's most transparent and cost-effective pricing models: 59-cent commission per contract, per side for every account,regardless of volume or account size.

Launched in 2010, Generic Trade set out to eliminate the complexity and hidden costs associated with traditional brokerage pricing. Instead of tiered commission rates based on account size or trading volume, Generic Trade offered a single, low commission rate to all clients—alongside aggressive day-trading margins, lightning-fast order execution, and a streamlined account opening process.

"Many doubted that we could sustain this model, but 15 years later, we've proven it works," said Marc Nathan, President of Generic Trade. "Every futures and options account we've ever opened—without exception—has enjoyed the same low 59¢ commission. We built this firm on the idea that fairness, simplicity, and cutting-edge technology should be available to every trader."
