How much do you pay your broker?

But your comment should be a proof point for those who are constantly worried about being classified as professional trader when they bought a stock and sold in 3 months :slight_smile:

2024 IBKR:

  • Commissions: $64.09
  • End NAV: $277k

For providing this amount of liquidity to the market, you should be getting paid instead of paying fees.

(One of my mentors manages to garner fees – at IBKR – when executing trades, usually basket trades, that provide liquidity to the market)

I’ve bought and sold a stock in one minute: usually because I pressed buy instead of sell and have to reverse it!

I personally reserve to do this kind of trade only when the underlying is extremely volatile and a mis-trade costs me at least 5% or so.

Tribute to the market gods.
