Fee per Trade

Trading Term

A type of client fee that is charged per trade unit. A fee per trade unit may be entered as an absolute markup over and above IBKR's standard commissions, as a percentage of IBKR's standard commission or as an absolute amount (IBKR's standard commissions will be subtracted from this amount). While both advisors and brokers can use fee per trade client fees, there are some differences between the ways advisors and brokers can set them:

  • Interest rate markups and markdowns are available for brokers but not for advisors.
  • Due to regulatory restrictions, fee per trade is not available to advisors in the US or US protectorates. However, US commodity-registered advisors can enter fee per trade client fees for futures and futures options by currency but not product.
  • A global fee schedule, available to brokers in Broker Portal, is not applied to all advisor client accounts by default, but may be copied from memory to make input of new client schedules easier.
