For stock and ETF trades, we charge $4.95 per trade. For option trades, we charge $4.95 per trade, plus 65 cents per contract. That's it. We charge the same rate for market and limit with no minimums or hidden fees. We also don't stop at just offering low cost online trading - you'll get the same rate for broker-assisted trades. We think that's fair and simple.
