Commissions Futures Europe

Notes:

1. Volume tiers are applied based on monthly cumulative trade volume summed across all futures and futures options contracts, regardless of the exchange on which they trade, at the time of the trade. Only contracts that are traded while under the Cost-Plus Tiered pricing structure will count towards the monthly volume. Contract volumes for advisor, institutions, and broker accounts are summed across all accounts for the purpose of determining volume breaks. These fees are applied on a marginal basis for a given calendar month. If for example, you execute 1,500 EUR contracts in a month, your IBKR execution costs would be:
   1,000 contracts at EUR 0.90
   500 contracts at EUR 0.60
2. Aside from the commission, fees charged to clients by IBKR, including but not limited to those referenced on this website, are intended to cover the costs of execution, including exchange fees. Such fees generally reflect the exchange fee structure, but in certain circumstances may be higher or lower than the fees charged by the exchange. IBKR may receive volume discounts that are not passed on to clients. Likewise, rebates passed on to clients by IBKR may be less than the rebates IBKR receives from the relevant market.
3. For the purpose of determining the monthly volume tier, each Euronext mini product will count as 1/10 the volume of one standard size future contract, i.e. for every 10 mini contracts traded, the monthly volume will increase by 1. Each mini DAX contract will count as 1/2 the volume of one standard size future contract.
4. Subject to note 2 above, non-member exchange and regulatory fees are applied, unless a client is pre-qualified by IBKR. Contact your sales person for more information.
5. GBP index option Cost+ commissions will start at 0.60.

• Commissions apply to all order types.
• All fees are charged in the currency of the traded product.
• Value-Added Tax (VAT), Goods and Service Tax (GST) or other consumption taxes will be separately applied to commissions and services, where applicable, based on the prevailing rates.
• Modified orders will be treated as the cancellation and replacement of an existing order with a new order. On certain exchanges, this may have the effect of subjecting modified orders to commission minimums as if they were new orders. For example, if an order for 200 contracts is submitted and 100 contracts execute, then you modify the order and another 100 contracts execute, a commission minimum would be applied to both 100 contract orders. Orders that persist overnight will be considered a new order for the purposes of determining order minimums.
