Understanding Stock Fees
What is a stock commission?
A commission is a fee charged by the broker for executing your stock trade. Some brokers offer zero-commission trading, while others charge per share or per trade.
What is spread markup?
The spread markup is the difference between the market price and the price your broker offers. It is essentially a hidden fee built into the trade price.
Are there other fees?
Yes. Beyond commissions and spreads, watch for platform fees, inactivity fees, currency conversion fees (for non-USD accounts), and withdrawal fees.
CFD vs real stock?
Some brokers offer stock CFDs instead of real shares. CFDs let you trade with leverage but you don't own the underlying stock and may pay overnight fees.
