Commission percentage

[Guest Mskeats18]

Hi I have placed my first trades but have noticed a $15 commission charge, now assuming the shares I have make say $30 in a month and I sell them I then get charged another $15 commission, so I basically make no money on this trade? What are the commission percentages supposed to be?

Hi thanks for your query. Please find below the commissions on CFD and share dealing accounts, as well as spread betting spreads. As you stated if you have two commissions of $15, and the stock rises by $30 then you would be flat (have made no money) on the trade.
