General information on stock trading
The commissions apply to all order types.
All exchange fees are included (exceptions are marked).
For clients sending a non-marketable limit order with an unusual quantity (e.g. odd-lot) directly to the NYSE, additional charges may apply. Such orders may need to be processed separately by the specialist on the trading floor and IB reserves the right to charge a fee for this. If this is the case, IB will contact the clients concerned.
VAT, also known as excise duty, tax on goods and services, where applicable, is charged separately for the services concerned..
Modified orders are handled like a new order (the old order is cancelled and replaced). On certain stock exchanges, this can lead to a new minimum fee being charged for modified orders, just like for a new order. For example: You submit an order for 200 shares, 100 shares are executed. You modify the order for the remaining 100 shares and the order is executed. The minimum fee is charged for both executions. Orders that remain in the system overnight are settled as a new order on the following day for the purpose of calculating the order minima.
Stamp duty (UK 0.5%, Ireland 1%) is passed on directly to the client.
Financial transaction tax: is currently (as at 12/2015) automatically withheld on the purchase of company shares (stocks) in France and Italy (French/Italian companies with a defined minimum market capitalisation). Please note the item: Transaction tax in your custody account statement. Any deductions will be shown there.
Penny stocks are more or less difficult to trade, depending on the exchange. The following generally applies:
Pure exchange: only a few (large) penny stocks tradable,
all others 'close-only'*
Venture exchange: regular trading
Pink exchange: regular trading, occasionally close-only*
ArcaEdge exchange: regular trading
* Close only = positions that have already been bought can be closed out, but no new positions can be opened.
On partial order executions: no additional costs are incurred for same-day (exchange trading day) executions. If orders are executed on different trading days, the corresponding order fees are charged again. See two examples below.
Time and again I am surprised by the extremely good service of your company. – George

Interest is calculated daily and debited or credited to your securities account at the beginning of each calendar month. The effective interest instalments are made available at the end of the month in the monthly report.
* Interest paid on inactive cash balances.
Client accounts have the option of being credited with credit interest on settled long cash balances and collateral for short sell positions in their securities accounts. The interest accrues daily and can be paid daily. IBKR transfers the interest interest paid each month on the third business day of the following month.
IBKR uses a mixed rate. The scale on which the interest rates are based may change at any time without notice. In the framework of negative interest rates, IBKR applies an effective negative interest rate on long positions if applicable. For other currencies where the benchmark rate and the credit interest rate paid add up to a value below 0, an interest rate of 0% is paid.
