Minimize your Trading Costs with Transparent Pricing at Place Trade®

 

 

No BS

 

No Fairy Tales

 

No shiny distractions or promises of a free lunch!

 

 


 

Simply transparent pricing & Deep Discount Commissions

We don't take payment for order flow, we don't trade against your interests and we don't find other ways to make it seem like you are getting stuff for free. We believe in transparency. We believe that our clients are smart and they know that there is no such thing as a free lunch as well as the fact that every firm has to pay to keep the lights on (which is difficult to do if there is no actual revenue coming in).  

We simply use SmartRouting technology to search for the best prices and executions that we can get and we work hard in order to maintain extremely low overall trading costs while offering advanced trading technology as well as great service to our clients.  

View our (transparent) online trading commissions on all products, including stocks, ETFs, warrants, options, bonds, mutual funds and other securities from around the world below.

When it comes to Trade Execution... What you can't see CAN hurt you!

 

Our Clients Benefit from the SmartRouting Advantage - Delivering Exceptional Transparent Pricing and Execution!

 

 

 

SmartRouting searches for the best firm stock, option, and combination prices available at the time of your order and seeks to immediately execute your order electronically for best execution. While every firm is required to provide "best execution" if your broker is receiving payment for order flow or making up for "free commissions" elsewhere, you may be paying more for your overall investment expenses than you realize. Remember, the old saying "there's no such thing as a free lunch!" Get transparent, low-cost trading with exceptional service when you move your account to Place Trade!

*Stock Minimum $1.50, Stock Commissions are "All-in"(exchange fees are included) for Smart Routed orders. Options Minimum $1.50, No Base Fee, Simple $0.75 Per Contract (Exchange fees and credits/rebates are passed through directly to you with no mark-up or payment to Place Trade®.) Place Trade calculates the interest charged on margin loans using the applicable rates for each interest rate tier listed on its website. Margin Rates displayed above are based on margin loan balances which are held in each specific tier. Balances held in each tier will continue to be charged the rate applicable to that tier. (Balances that cross multiple tiers will continue to be charged the applicable rate for each tier and will effectively offer a combined rate - the balances in the lower tiers are not reduced to meet the rates offered in the higher tiers.) For additional information on margin loan rates, please see our margin rates page by following this link.

 


 

We simply offer complete transparency, extremely low overall trading and investment costs along with great execution and service because our clients know that there is no such thing as a free lunch!
