Stock broker commissions

When trading stocks online through a stock trading platform, you may be required to pay commission fees for taking, maintaining and exiting your positions. Stock trading commission fees will need to be factored into your overall money management and trading strategy, along with other online trading costs.

You should clarify all of the applicable commission charges and compare brokers to see which will save you the most in stock trading fees over the long term. It is worth noting that some online stock brokers will offer commission free trading but compensate for this by having other additional costs such as monthly fees for using their stock trading platforms or spread mark-ups.
