Do all brokers charge $1.50 like Interactive Brokers to modify an option?

A good trader doesn't need to modify the order. You have to sh!t or get off the pot.

I'm a piker ass newbie too and was also surprised by the cancel fee. I often get hit by it as I like to leg into my positions. I'll set up both sides with limit orders but once one side gets hit I'll reset the other side if it looks like the market is moving away from me.
I was a bit annoyed at first, but in practice it's still so much cheaper at IB even with the cancellation fees that it turns out not to matter for me.
Dictionary: piker
1. A cautious gambler.
2. A person regarded as petty or stingy.
(I had no idea.)

Tradeking has no such charge.
According to the rep I just spoke with, they only charge to execute. Maybe the average # of cancels/repricings is worked into their commissions, but there is no outright cost.
1) The exchanges charge cancellation and modification fees.
2) Some brokers eat the charges and some pass them on to customers.
3) Good traders change or modify orders all the time. Only fools place an order and believe that it should be left unchanged despite all evidence to the contrary.
4) There are many reasons for choosing a broker, but worrying about small fees should not be one of them.
