FAQ
How does commission-free equity trading work?
Commission-free trading applies to market and limit orders on stocks priced above $1, placed between 7:00 AM and 8:00 PM ET. Regulatory fees, borrow costs, and other applicable charges still apply.
Are there hidden fees?
No. Every fee is listed on this page or in our full fee schedule. Certain charges like regulatory fees and borrow costs are pass-throughs based on market conditions, not BigTrades markups.
Why does the desktop platform cost $99/month?
bigPRO runs on DAS Trader and delivers professional-grade tools built for active execution.
How are short locate and borrow rates set?
They’re market-based and change daily. Supply, demand, and overall market conditions determine the rate. You’ll see the cost quoted before you execute.
What triggers the account maintenance fee?
The fee does not apply for the first 60 days after the account is opened. After that, accounts that trade fewer than 20,000 shares in the current month are subject to a $30/month fee next month.
For example, if an account has traded 15,000 shares during June 1-30, that account will be charged an account maintenance fee for June. If the account trades 20,000 shares or more during July 1-31, no account maintenance fee will be charged for July.
Can these fees change?
Yes. Pricing, fees, and platform availability may change based on market conditions, regulatory requirements, or business considerations. We’ll always publish the current schedule on this page.
