L lsudaytrade Oct 25, 2003 #2 SEC Fee: 0.0000468 x gross proceeds of transaction except for those transactions exempt from Regulation 240.31. Initial thoughts was thats near nothing. But when trading large volume intraday, S.E.C fees does add up in the long run. For instance, I shorted and covered 1K SNDK($75) 4 times on Friday. At ~$3.55 per sale, that amounted to $14.2 for the day. I just recall reading somewhere that IB handles S.E.C fees differently?
