Applied based on monthly cumulative trade volume summed across all options contracts at the time of the trade. Contract volumes are summed across all accounts for the purpose of determining volume breaks. These fees are applied on a marginal basis for a given calendar month. If for example, you execute 200 US contracts in a month, your execution costs would be:

100 contracts at $1.00
100 contracts at $0.75

See futures commissions for more information.

Commissions are not charged for US exercise and assignment.

 

.Forex
PTI ProDirect, through IB, provides the best bid/offer from multiple large banks and charges a separate low commission. We do this in the interest of transparent pricing instead of marking up our quotes and charging nothing in commissions as is the practice with many forex brokers. Because quote markups at other brokers are generally much larger than our explicit low commissions, our forex customers benefit from lower forex trading costs.

Notes:
  1. Commissions apply to all order types.
  2. All exchange and regulatory fees included.
  3. Commissions for forex trades will be charged in the base currency of the account.
  4. 1 basis point=0.0001.
  5. Order minimums are quoted in USD with USD equivalent being utilized for other currencies.
  6. Modified orders will be treated as the cancellation and replacement of an existing order with a new order. On certain exchanges, this may have the effect of subjecting modified orders to commission minimums as if they were new orders. For example, if an order for 200 shares is submitted and 100 shares execute, then you modify the order and another 100 shares execute, a commission minimum would be applied to both 100 share orders.
