Our Pricing Philosophy
We believe in fair, transparent pricing that reflects the value of personal service and experienced judgment.
Commission structures vary by account type, market, and service level. Broker-assisted and traditional accounts carry higher per-trade commissions reflecting the personal guidance provided. Self-directed online accounts qualify for reduced rates.
We do not believe in hidden fees or surprise charges. Before you open an account, we will walk through exactly how commissions work for your intended trading style and markets.
