Full transparency in our fees
Nobody likes surprises—especially on their monthly statement. In the interest of being fully transparent and forthcoming with our pricing, we’re listing all the fees that you could possibly incur as a Questrade customer. The following fees are behaviour-based, so you may never see them—but if you do, rest assured we’re keeping them low.
Exchange fees
Electronic communication networks (ECNs) and alternative trading systems (ATSs) are intermediaries that connect brokers to the market. They facilitate all transactions and add liquidity to the markets. ECNs apply to U.S. listed securities while ATSs apply to Canadian securities. In general, ECNs and ATSs charge fees whenever an order removes liquidity from the market. This may add on to the cost of your trade in addition to general commissions.

Unlike SEC fees, ECN and ATS fees are avoidable. We'll show you how.
