Commission Schedule





You may trade over the telephone with a licensed professional or trade online yourself. Our commission rates are significantly less than those of full cost brokers. You can get investment advice from our advisors as needed. You won’t get pushy salespeople calling you at the dinner hour. We do not make “cold calls.”

Below is a sample of our commission rates for stock and option trades placed over the telephone. Our minimum commission is $38.50.
