This article provides detailed information about trading fees for various instruments, minimum and standard commissions, as well as subscription prices for real-time market data across different exchanges
Fees are charged only for trades that have been successfully executed. If your order was rejected, the commission won’t be charged.
Note! EXANTE applies fixed fees depending on the instrument. For percentage-based commission fees, the final amount is rounded up to the nearest hundredth in the given currency. With higher-frequency trading, a 10-cent rounding error may accumulate within three minutes.
What is the difference between minimum and standard trading commissions?
Keep in mind that there are two types of commissions - minimum and standard.
If you place one order for 1 to 50 shares, the commission will be $1 per trade or equivalent in other currency.
If an order contains more than 50 shares, a standard commission of 0.02 USD (or the equivalent in other currencies) will be applied to the excess shares.
