Yes, Interactive Brokers (IB) does charge commissions, but they are among the lowest in the industry. IB uses a tiered commission structure that adjusts based on my trading volume. For example, if I trade fewer than 300,000 shares a month, I pay $0.0035 per share, but the rate drops to $0.0005 per share for trades above 20 million shares. This is especially beneficial for high-volume traders like me. While the commission structure is more favorable for active traders, the complexity of the tiered system could be challenging for beginners who are unfamiliar with how it works. I appreciate the savings I get with this structure, but I would recommend new traders take the time to understand the commission system to ensure they’re trading efficiently. The tiered commission system makes IB a great choice for traders who trade in high volumes.
