So I just received an email from Stake, my current broker. Its saying they are going to increase the fee to $3 per trade up to 30k?? I got suckered in before by the slick marketing but I found out that I'm paying0.5% each time I convert my currency to buy US stocks.
Got to say it's really a bad news for users like me. High fees charged by brokers not only reduced returns, but also like limitations on trading. That makes it difficult for us to execute trades frequently.
Any thoughts on this? Feel like moomoo is a little better.
