I'm curious, could you explain why E-Trade is charging me a commission for my trades? I've been using their platform for a while now and have always assumed that they offered commission-free trading. Is this a new policy or is there something specific about my account or the trades I'm making that's causing this fee? I'd appreciate any clarity you can provide on this matter.

Options traders should also be aware of the options regulatory fee, which is a separate charge imposed by the regulatory authorities.

Trading commissions can vary based on the specifics of an order. Orders that span multiple trading days or undergo changes may incur additional fees.

However, it's important to note that there is an additional charge of $0.65 per options contract. This fee is separate from the base commission and applies specifically to options trades.

The exact amount of this fee can vary depending on the specifics of the trade and should be factored into the overall cost of the transaction.
