Notes:
- Plus the applicable exchange, ECN and/or specialist fees based on execution venue.
- For orders that are immediately executed against an existing bid or offer on the exchange's order book, an exchange liquidity removing fee will be added.
- This charge does not apply to relative, pegged to market and pegged to midpoint orders.
- Directed orders to IBKRATS/IBDARK that are marketable will generally be rejected.
- Transaction fees are only charged for sell orders on USA stocks, ETFs, warrants, rights, voting trust certificates and are equal to 0.0000218 * Value of Aggregate Sales
- Includes NMS, OTCBB, and Pink Sheet Stocks.
- In the event the calculated maximum per order is less than the minimum per order, the minimum per order will be assessed.
- Ticket charges are equal to USD 13, CAD 13 and MXN 120, for respective currency denominated stocks.
- Commissions apply to all order types.
- All exchange fees are included.
- For clients who send an extraordinary number of non-marketable limit orders to the NYSE, and who route such orders direct to NYSE, rather than using SmartRouting, Caucasus Capital reserves the right to impose a surcharge in order to defray specialist order handling charges. In this event, Caucasus Capital will provide notice to affected clients.
- VAT, also referred to as consumption tax, goods and services tax, where applicable, will be separately applied for eligible services.
- Modified orders will be treated as the cancellation and replacement of an existing order with a new order. On certain exchanges, this may have the effect of subjecting modified orders to commission minimums as if they were new orders. For example, if an order for 200 shares is submitted and 100 shares execute, then you modify the order and another 100 shares execute, a commission minimum would be applied to both 100 share orders. Orders that persist overnight will be considered a new order for the purposes of determining order minimums.

Notes:
- Our tiered commission models are not intended to be a direct pass-through of exchange and third-party fees and rebates. Costs passed on to clients in Caucasus Capital’s Tiered commission schedule may be greater than the costs paid by Caucasus Capital to the relevant exchange, regulator, clearinghouse or third party. For example, Caucasus Capital may receive volume discounts that are not passed on to clients. Likewise, rebates passed on to clients by Caucasus Capital may be less than the rebates Caucasus Capital receives from the relevant market. For example, Caucasus Capital may receive enhanced rebate payments for exceeding volume thresholds on particular markets, but typically will not directly pass these enhancements to clients. Likewise Caucasus Capital does not pass to clients all of the rebates Caucasus Capital may receive for liquidity taking orders, complex orders or orders executed in price improvement auctions. Traditional exchange payment for order flow programs result in payments to specialists or primary market makers, some portion of which may be paid on to Caucasus Capital. Caucasus Capital does not pass these payments directly to clients.
- The Options Regulatory Fee ("ORF") is charged by the following exchanges: AMEX, BATS, BOX, CBOE, CBOE2, ISE, GEMINI, MIAX, NOM, NASDAQBX, PCX, PHLX.
- Fee applies to executions which clear in the "Customer" account with OCC. This will generally include Public Customer and Professional Customer transactions.
- Transaction fees are only charged for sell orders.
- Volumes on both US and Canadian markets contribute to sliding scale.
- Commissions apply to all order types.
- Commissions are not charged for US exercise and assignment.
- Commissions are not charged for US cabinet buy-to-close trades.
- Ticket charges per trade in amount of USD 5.0, CAD 5.5 and MXN 100 are applied to respective currency denominated contracts
- Caucasus Capital considers exchange fees and/or rebates in determining where to route an order. Under certain circumstances, Caucasus Capital may route a marketable order to an exchange that is not currently posting the national best bid or offer (NBBO) but which may be willing to “step up” and execute the order at the NBBO, in order to avoid or reduce the exchange fee for executing the order. If this routing method is used, the client generally will pay a lower execution fee than client would have otherwise paid. In those cases where Caucasus Capital routes to an exchange that is not currently posting the NBBO in order to reduce or avoid exchange fees, Caucasus Capital will guarantee the client a fill at the NBBO at the time that Caucasus Capital routed the order.
- Volume breaks are applied based on monthly cumulative trade volume summed across all options contracts at the time of the trade. Contract volumes for advisor, separate trading limit, and broker accounts are summed across all accounts for the purpose of determining volume breaks. These fees are applied on a marginal basis for a given calendar month. If for example, you execute 12,000 US contracts in a month, your execution costs would be:
- 10,000 contracts at USD 2.10
- 2,000 contracts at USD 1.50
- Modified orders will be treated as the cancellation and replacement of an existing order with a new order. On certain exchanges, this may have the effect of subjecting modified orders to commission minimums as if they were new orders. For example, if an order for 200 contracts is submitted and 100 contracts execute, then you modify the order and another 100 contracts execute, a commission minimum would be applied to both 100 contract orders.
- Orders minimums will be applied to the individual legs of a COMBO order.

Exchange and Regulatory Fees (pdf)

- Index and stock options will not be combined for the determination of the monthly tiers. Index options will continue to be combined with the monthly volume tiers for future and future options.
- The minimum per order for European stock options and index options traded under the cost plus volume tier model will be:
- EUR 6.00 per Order
- GBP 5.00 per Order
- CHF 7.35 per Order
- For the purpose of determining the monthly volume tier, each mini stock option contract traded on Euronext Paris will count as 1/10 of the volume of one standard size stock option contract.
- Except Special Fee Index Options.
- Caucasus Capital’s Tiered commission models are not guaranteed to be a direct pass-through of exchange and third-party fees and rebates. Costs passed on to clients in Caucasus Capital’s Tiered commission schedule may be greater than the costs paid by Caucasus Capital to the relevant exchange, regulator, clearinghouse or third party. For example, Caucasus Capital may receive volume discounts that are not passed on to clients. Likewise, rebates passed on to clients by Caucasus Capital may be less than the rebates Caucasus Capital receives from the relevant market.
- Commissions apply to all order types.
- Commissions are charged for exercise and assignment.
- Ticket charges per trade in amount of USD 5, EUR 5, CHF 6, GBP 4, NOK 60 and SEK 60 are applied to respective currency denominated contracts.

For example, if an order for 200 contracts is submitted and 100 contracts execute, then you modify the order and another 100 contracts execute, a commission minimum would be applied to both 100 contract orders.

Orders that persist overnight will be considered a new order for the purposes of determining order minimums.

Notes:
- Caucasus Capital's Tiered commission models are not guaranteed to be a direct pass-through of exchange and third-party fees and rebates. Costs passed on to clients in Caucasus Capital's Tiered commission schedule may be greater than the costs paid by Caucasus Capital to the relevant exchange, regulator, clearinghouse or third party. For example, Caucasus Capital may receive volume discounts that are not passed on to clients. Likewise, rebates passed on to clients by Caucasus Capital may be less than the rebates Caucasus Capital receives from the relevant market.
- Volume tiers are applied based on monthly cumulative trade volume summed across all futures and futures options contracts at the time of the trade. Only contracts that are traded while under the Volume Tiered pricing structure will count towards the monthly volume. Contract volumes for advisor, institutions, and broker accounts are summed across all accounts for the purpose of determining volume breaks. These fees are applied on a marginal basis for a given calendar month. If for example, you execute 1,500 US contracts in a month, your Caucasus Capital execution costs would be: 1,000 contracts at USD 0.60 and 500 contracts at USD 0.45
- Carrying charges are applied for each net futures contract, net short call futures options, or net short put futures options on a single underlying for each business day the net futures position is held overnight. The carrying fee for accounts with excess equity in between the minimum requirement and 3x the minimum will have their carry fees extrapolated based on the table above.
- Non-member exchange and regulatory fees are applied.
- Exchange and Regulatory fees only apply for CFE.
- For the purpose of determining the monthly volume tier, each Globex e-mini FX product will count as ½ the volume of one standard size future contract. Each Globex e-micro FX product will count as 1/10 the volume of one standard size future contract, i.e. for every 10 e-micro FX Globex product traded, the monthly volume will increase by 1.
- 50 = NIFTY contract multiplier.
- Caucasus Capital commissions will be charged only on the opening leg in case of intra-day trades on the NSE (positions opened and closed on the same day). No commissions will be charged on the closing leg, other charges apply on both legs (such as STT, reg fees, exchange fees and etc.).
- Ticket charges per trade in amount of USD 8, CAD 9, MXN 180, EUR 9, GBP 7, CHF 10, NOK 90, SEK 90, AUD 10, HKD 80, SGD 14, KRW 11000 and JPY 1100 are applied to respective currency denominated contracts.
- Commissions apply to all order types.
- All fees are charged in the currency of the traded product.
- VAT, also referred to as consumption tax, goods and services tax, where applicable, will be separately applied for eligible services.
- Modified orders will be treated as the cancellation and replacement of an existing order with a new order. On certain exchanges, this may have the effect of subjecting modified orders to commission minimums as if they were new orders. For example, if an order for 200 contracts is submitted and 100 contracts execute, then you modify the order and another 100 contracts execute, a commission minimum would be applied to both 100 contract orders. Orders that persist overnight will be considered a new order for the purposes of determining order minimums.
- Effective March 1, 2013, certain Italian stocks will be subject to a transaction tax. Effective September 1, 2013, derivatives on those Italian securities subject to the transaction tax will similarly become subject to a transaction tax.
- The standard commission will be charged for the exercise or assignment of any Futures or Future Options Contract.
- Single Stock Futures are not available for volume tiered pricing.
Spot Forex and Forex CFDs - Pricing Structure
Our tight spreads and substantial liquidity are a result of combining quotation streams from 14 of the world's largest foreign exchange dealers which constitute more than 78%1of the market share in the global interbank market. This results in displayed quotes as small as 0.1 PIP. Caucasus Capital passes through the prices that it receives and charges a separate low commission. We do this in the interest of providing a transparent pricing structure instead of marking up our quotes and charging nothing in commissions as is the practice with many forex brokers. Tiers are based on the combined Monthly Trade Value of Forex CFD and Spot Forex trades.

Notes:
- 1 basis point=$0.0001
- Commissions are tiered. For example, for US corporate and muni bonds, the first 10K in face value is charged @ 0.3% and any remaining principal over 10K is charged at 0.075%.
- Maximum USD 0.75 per trade.
- Value tiers are applied based on monthly cumulative trade volume summed across all stock, warrants and ETF shares. This is calculated once daily, not at the time of the trade. As such, execution reductions will start the next trading day after the threshold has been exceeded. Only shares that are traded while under the Cost Plus pricing structure will count towards the monthly volume. Share volumes for advisor, institution, and broker accounts are summed across all accounts for the purpose of determining volume breaks. These fees are applied on a marginal basis for a given calendar month.

Notes:
- Trade Value = Nominal*(Price in Percent)/100.
For example:
Nominal = EUR 8000.
Price = 106.62 %
Total Value = 8000*106.62/100 = 8529.60
Commission 0.3 % = 8529.60 * 0.003 = EUR 25.59
- The exchange levies a charge of EUR 2.00 per order for each order over the exchange-allowed 5:1 order to execution ratio. New orders and order modifications count in the ratio, cancels do not.
For example:
Four orders are submitted, and each is modified one time. One execution results and the charge is EUR 6.00. The calculation is shown below:
4 orders + 4 modifications = 8 orders compared to 1 execution, giving an order to execution ratio of 8:1.
The difference between our order ratio of 8:1 and the exchange-allowed ratio of 5:1 is 3 (8:1 – 5:1 = 3)
3 x EUR 2.00 = EUR 6.00
- Value tiers are applied based on monthly cumulative trade volume summed across all stock, warrants and ETF shares. This is calculated once daily, not at the time of the trade. As such, execution reductions will start the next trading day after the threshold has been exceeded. Only shares that are traded while under the Cost Plus pricing structure will count towards the monthly volume. Share volumes for advisor, institution, and broker accounts are summed across all accounts for the purpose of determining volume breaks. These fees are applied on a marginal basis for a given calendar month.
- VAT, also referred to as consumption tax, goods and services tax, where applicable, will be separately applied for eligible services.
- Modified orders will be treated as the cancellation and replacement of an existing order with a new order. On certain exchanges, this may have the effect of subjecting modified orders to commission minimums as if they were new orders. For example, if an order for bonds with USD 20,000 Face Value is submitted and 10,000 face value executes, then you modify the order and another 10,000 face value executes, a commission minimum where applicable would be applied to both 10,000 face value executions. Orders that persist overnight will be considered a new order for the purposes of determining order minimums. >
- Ticket charge per trade is charged in amount of EUR 6.
- Settlement fees are currently set at 0.00; however this is subject to change.
- Quoting surcharge determined at end of day for customers whose order/trade ratio exceeds 5:1. Only new orders and modifications but not order cancels will count in the ratio.
For example: 4 orders, each modified once, resulting in 1 execution total -> charge of EUR 6 (3*2 EUR)

These fees are applied on a marginal basis for a given calendar month.
- VAT, also referred to as consumption tax, goods and services tax, where applicable, will be separately applied for eligible services.
- Modified orders will be treated as the cancellation and replacement of an existing order with a new order. On certain exchanges, this may have the effect of subjecting modified orders to commission minimums as if they were new orders. For example, if an order for bonds with USD 20,000 Face Value is submitted and 10,000 face value executes, then you modify the order and another 10,000 face value executes, a commission minimum where applicable would be applied to both 10,000 face value executions. Orders that persist overnight will be considered a new order for the purposes of determining order minimums.
- Ticket charge per trade is charged in amount of HKD 50.

Notes:
- Volume tiers are applied based on monthly cumulative trade volume summed across US Share CFDs at the time of the trade. European Share CFD trades will not count towards the monthly volume (and vice versa). The above commissions include all fees and are applied on a marginal basis for a given calendar month. If for example, you execute 500,000 US share CFDs in a month, your CCG Commission would be:
300,000 CFDs at USD 0.0150
200,000 CFDs at USD 0.0135
- All exchange and regulatory fees included.
- Ticket charge per trade is applied in amount of USD 18.
- VAT, also referred to as consumption tax, goods and services tax, where applicable, will be separately applied for eligible services.
- Modified orders will be treated as the cancellation and replacement of an existing order with a new order. On certain exchanges, this may have the effect of subjecting modified orders to commission minimums as if they were new orders. For example, if an order for 200 contracts is submitted and 100 contracts execute, then you modify the order and another 100 contracts execute, a commission minimum would be applied to both 100 contract orders. Orders that persist overnight will be considered a new order for the purposes of determining order minimums.

Notes:
- The CFD tiers are based on the Monthly Trade Value as expressed in EUR. When calculating the Monthly Trade Value in EUR, we convert any non-EUR denominated CFD trade to its EUR-equivalent using the most recent exchange rate. In this way, stock trades denominated in non-EUR currencies will be counted towards the monthly value for commission breaks.
- The minimum fees are additive. For example, an order resulting in a single execution carries a minimum fee of CZK 70. An order executed in two tranches carries a minimum fee of CZK 130.
- Commissions apply to all order types. In addition a surcharge is applied to CCG Algo orders (VWAP, DarkIce, etc.) for CFDs on European shares as follows:
- GBP denominated 0.015%
- EUR denominated 0.01%
- CHF denominated 0.025%
- EUR (Finnish only) denominated 0.025%
- SEK and DKK denominated 0.10%
- All exchange and regulatory fees included.
- Ticket charges per trade in amount of EUR 9, GBP 9, CHF 9, NOK 60, SEK 60, DKK 60 and CZK 450 are applied to respective currency denominated contracts.
- VAT, also referred to as consumption tax, goods and services tax, where applicable, will be separately applied for eligible services.
- Modified orders will be treated as the cancellation and replacement of an existing order with a new order. On certain exchanges, this may have the effect of subjecting modified orders to commission minimums as if they were new orders. For example, if an order for 200 contracts is submitted and 100 contracts execute, then you modify the order and another 100 contracts execute, a commission minimum would be applied to both 100 contract orders. Orders that persist overnight will be considered a new order for the purposes of determining order minimums.
