Nobody reads the fee schedule, and that is the entire business model. Twenty minutes with it will change which broker you pick.
- Options contract fees: the fee that compounds on active traders - Margin interest rates by tier, not the advertised headline rate - Account transfer-out fees, usually $75 to $100, the exit tax on switching - Wire fees, IRA annual fees, paper statement fees, broker-assisted trade fees - If the fee schedule is hard to find, that is your review right there
BrokerMatch ($2.99 one-time) already compared fifty brokers fee by fee, so your twenty minutes become two.
