Disclosures

  1. IBKR's Tiered commission models are not intended to be a direct pass-through of exchange and third-party fees and rebates. Costs passed on to clients in IBKR's Tiered commission schedule may be greater than the costs paid by IBKR to the relevant exchange, regulator, clearinghouse or third party. For example, IBKR may receive volume discounts that are not passed on to clients. Likewise, rebates passed on to clients by IBKR may be less than the rebates IBKR receives from the relevant market. For example, IBKR may receive enhanced rebate payments for exceeding volume thresholds on particular markets, but typically will not pass these enhancements directly to clients.
    Volume tiers are applied based on monthly cumulative trade volume summed across all futures and futures options contracts, regardless of the exchange on which they trade, at the time of the trade. Only contracts that are traded while under the Volume Tiered pricing structure will count towards the monthly volume. Contract volumes for advisor, institutions, and broker accounts are summed across all accounts for the purpose of determining volume breaks. These fees are applied on a marginal basis for a given calendar month. If for example, you execute 1,500 US contracts in a month, your IBKR execution costs would be:
    1,000 contracts at USD 0.85
    500 contracts at USD 0.65
  2. Aside from the commission, fees charged to clients by IBKR, including but not limited to those referenced on this website, are intended to cover the costs of execution, including exchange fees. Such fees generally reflect the exchange fee structure, but in certain circ*mstances may be higher or lower than the fees charged by the exchange.
  3. IBKR may receive aggregate volume discounts that are not passed on to clients.
  4. Subject to note 2 above, non-member exchange and regulatory fees are applied, unless a client is pre-qualified by IBKR. Contact your sales person for more information.
  5. For the purpose of determining the monthly volume tier, each Globex e-mini FX product will count as ½ the volume of one standard size future contract. Each CME Group e-micro product will count as 1/10 the volume of one standard size future contract, i.e. for every 10 e-micro Globex product traded, the monthly volume will increase by 1.
  • Commissions apply to all order types.
  • All fees are charged in the currency of the traded product.
  • VAT, also referred to as consumption tax, goods and services tax, where applicable, will be separately applied for eligible services.
  • Modified orders will be treated as the cancellation and replacement of an existing order with a new order. On certain exchanges, this may have the effect of subjecting modified orders to commission minimums as if they were new orders. For example, if an order for 200 contracts is submitted and 100 contracts execute, then you modify the order and another 100 contracts execute, a commission minimum would be applied to both 100 contract orders. Orders that persist overnight will be considered a new order for the purposes of determining order minimums.
  • The standard commission will be charged for the exercise or assignment of any Futures or Future Options Contract. See our Other Fees page for details.
  • Single Stock Futures are not available for volume tiered pricing.

* Lower investment costs will increase your overall return on investment, but lower costs do not guarantee that your investment will be profitable.

The provided text seems to detail a range of financial instruments and associated fees related to trading in various markets, including stocks, ETFs (Exchange-Traded Funds), options, futures, event contracts, spot currencies, cryptocurrencies, metals, bonds, and mutual funds.

For instance, it discusses fees for trading futures and options across different denominations such as USD, EUR, GBP, CAD, CHF, HKD, AUD, SEK, SGD, JPY, and CNH. The fees vary based on monthly contract volumes and are structured in tiers, with lower fees for higher trade volumes. These fees cover exchange fees, regulatory fees, and overnight position fees.

There's a breakdown of fees for specific types of contracts like E-mini futures, CME cryptocurrency futures, E-mini FX futures, and E-Micro FX futures. The fees are categorized as tiered or fixed, depending on the volume and currency denomination.

The text also includes examples illustrating how fees are calculated for different types of contracts, showcasing how execution fees, exchange fees, clearing fees, and regulatory fees contribute to the overall cost per contract.

Moreover, it's highlighted that lower investment costs can positively impact investment returns, but they don't guarantee profitability.

Each section addresses specific fees, volumes, and currencies for trading different financial instruments, catering to traders in different regions like North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific.

The information appears to come from a brokerage or financial services provider detailing their fee structures for trading various financial products in different markets, emphasizing how lower costs can potentially enhance overall investment returns.
