But Updown trades do not affect the market value of a stock so there is no need to pay a higher commission because it equals out as it does in the market. In the market, if you pay $1 for your first 1,000 shares and then 1.05 for the next 1,000 that .05 is canceled out do to the appreciation of the first 1,000 shares.

There are some people who still pay a full or discounted brokerage commission and yes there are people who use Ameritrade. In the big picture of it all, these rates are better than they were before and I don't think commissions will be the final determinant of how well your portfolio does. Colin This seems fine to me.

I have trades for 100 shares, and 500 shares and they're getting charged $100 commission fee. So, if this was supposedly put into place on June 21, then why in July & August am I still being charged $100 for trades less than 1000 shares? The system is broken. I have sent emails about it too, and they've been ignored. This site is whacked. My account is still getting charged $100 on stock trades below 1000 shares.

The new system with cheaper transaction costs is a lot more realistic now.

I'm not really sure how the change in commission matters. Is this an attempt to discourage over-trading one's account? I think this is fine. I’m not really sure how the change in commission matters.
