US Stock Multi-Leg Options Fees

1. Fees                        

US multi-leg options order may consist of either a combination of US options or combination of US options + stocks/ETFs. Each leg in a multi-leg options order is charged separately and subject to the minimum fee rate. Total fees are calculated by adding up the fees for each individual leg.                         

2. Examples                        

Example 1: To build a long covered call, an investor buys 100 shares of the underlying stock at US$35 per share and simultaneously sells 1 call option on the same underlying stock at US$5. The commissions and other transaction fees for the 100 shares of stock and the 1 option contract are calculated separately, all subject to their respective minimum fee rates.

Taking the commission as an example, the commission for 100 shares of stock is 0. The commission for 1 option contract is 1 * US$0.65 = US$0.65, while the minimum commission per option order is US$1.99, and thus the commission for the 1 option contract is US$1.99.
Therefore, the total commissions are US$0+US$1.99 = US$1.99.

*Subjected to other fees e.g. Platform fees.    

 

Example 2: To build a long straddle, an investor buys 1 call option and 1 put option on the same underlying stock at US$6.5 each, both with the same strike price and the same expiration date. The commissions and other transaction fees for the two-leg option contracts are calculated separately, all subject to their respective minimum fee rates.

Taking the commission as an example, the commission for 1 call option contract is 1 * US$0.65 = US$0.65, while the minimum commission per option order is US$1.99, and thus the commission for the 1 call option contract is US$1.99. The commission for 1 put option contract is 1 * US$0.65 = US$0.65, while the minimum commission per option order is US$1.99, and thus the commission for the 1 put option contract is also US$1.99. 
Therefore, the total commissions are US$1.99 + US$1.99 = US$3.98.

*Subjected to other fees e.g. Platform fees.
