Broker fees for micro-lots in metals
Anyone else finding that micro-lot execution for metals, specifically platinum and palladium, is getting hit with disproportionately high per-trade fees or wider spreads on most brokerages compared to larger contracts? It's making scaling into positions difficult for smaller accounts.

I've definitely noticed that with other assets too, not just metals. Do you think it's more about the broker trying to recoup costs on smaller trades, or is there something fundamental about micro-lots that makes them more expensive to execute?
