Frequently asked questions
Why do two brokers show different fees for the same trade?
Fee structures aren't standardized — a flat commission, a percentage, or a spread-based model can all apply to the same order type. The real cost depends on your trade size and frequency, which is why a single "cheapest" label is misleading.
Are hidden fees common?
Not hidden in the sense of undisclosed — but often published in terms documents rather than the main pricing page, which is functionally the same problem for anyone comparing brokers.
How current is the fee data here?
Every broker's published fee schedule is re-checked on a weekly schedule, not reviewed once and left to go stale.
