This was a great OTC multi day breakout play. Had to use my smaller E Trade account in order to buy this many shares without killing myself with per share commissions. Otherwise this position would have been 3 times bigger. Still had a very decent profit and my E Trade account is getting closer to being able to handle full size positions.

Great trade! You wouldn't have paid too much with IB. Within their fixed pricing scheme, they charge per share OR 0.5% of the trade value (to keep commissions reasonable when trading penny stocks. So, for 200K shares at $0,035, you would have paid $35 commissions to enter and again to exit. ;-) From IB website: 1,000 Shares @ USD 25 Share Price = USD 5.00 1,000 Shares @ USD 0.25 Share Price = USD 1.25

@Nodrog I need to look into opening an account with them directly. My account is through Venom and they use the IB platform but I guess the commission structure is different.

@papajohn You would've paid the same commission. I have IB and Venom. I pay nearly the exact same commission at both. Unless theres some commission structure that I am not signed up for at IB... Lol
