1,001st - 10,000th contracts$0.30/Contract
10,001st contract and every contract thereafter$0.25/Contract

Notes:

1. If the cumulative number of contracts traded each month is less than 950, then the fixed plan will charge lower average fees per contract than the tiered plan.

2. If the cumulative number of contracts traded each month is more than 950, then the tiered plan will charge lower average fees per contract than the fixed plan.

3. If you choose to switch to the Tiered Plan, the cumulative number of contracts for the current month will be recalculated upon the switch, and you can only switch once per calendar month. The cumulative number of monthly contracts will be calculated in calendar months, and will begin from 0 on the first day of each month or when switching your plan.

For example: If the user switched their plan on 20 January, the cumulative number of monthly contracts for the new plan will be calculated upon the switch in plan from 20 January* to 31 January.

*In scenarios such as GTC where charges may apply after market closure, the effective date is calculated based on the actual deduction time. In some cases, it may take effect on the second day of the switch.

4. When the account opening process is completed, the US Options trading defaults to the Fixed Plan. You may feel free to switch the fee plan at your own preference.

5. Thank you for using moomoo. Platform fees are charged to enable moomoo AU to continue investing in better technologies to improve our platform to serve our users better.

Notes:

1. The Options Regulatory Fee ('ORF') is a fee assessed by exchanges on their members. The ORF fees are typically passed-through by members to their customers. ORF is collected by The Options Clearing Corp ("The OCC") on behalf of the U.S. options Exchanges. The stated purpose of the fee is to recover a portion of the costs related to the supervision and regulation of the options markets. These activities include routine surveillance, investigations, as well as policy, rulemaking, interpretive and enforcement activities. The applicable fee rate may result in a discrepancy with the fee charged by the upstream brokers or the relevant exchanges, and any excess fee will be retained while deficiency will not be charged to clients.

2. The SEC Fees and Trading Activity Fees are charged only at the time of sale.

3. The SEC fees have been adjusted to 0.0000278 times the transaction amount, with a minimum of $0.01 per trade, effective from May 22, 2024 ET.

4. Clients will be charged the Exchange Proprietary Index Option Fees associated with the Proprietary Index Options products provided by the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE), which are subject to change without notice. A copy of the CBOE Options Exchange Fee Schedule can be found on www.cboe.com.
