Customization

There are several ways for you to customize the platform: identify your account roots, choose the homepage you prefer and select the accounts to be displayed by default.

Comparison tool

With our comparison tool, you can see four stocks, ETFs or mutual funds at the same time to help you make decisions. You’ll also have access to returns, management fees, asset classes and lots more information.

Best performing shares

At a glance, you can see which of your securities fluctuate the most daily in dollars or as a percentage in the “Top Movers” section so you’ll know quickly which shares most influence your portfolio today.

Watchlist

Another new feature of our platform is the “Watchlist,” which is even more effective than ever. You can create up to 10 lists of securities to monitor, rename them and place your securities in the order you want. The new "Quick Watch List" tool will also make it easy to access your lists no matter where you are in the platform.

Trading Central

The suite of tools from the firm Trading Central is now part of our new platform. With this suite, you can easily optimise your share searches according to your precise criteria, find shares that are undervalued by the market, identify bull or bear signals, validate certain investment decisions and find new investment ideas on a daily basis. Why not give it a go?

The fine print

*Options commission is $0 + $1.25/contract. A minimum fee of $6.25/trade applies. The maximum fee is $19.95 when the transaction value is less than $2,000. An option contract gives the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell a given position in an underlying security at a given exercise price. Contracts are for 100 shares.

1. Trades must have been made through our electronic solutions.

2. Please read the prospectus before making an investment. ETFs are not guaranteed, their values change frequently and past performance may not be repeated. Regular pricing on equities trade applies if the $0 commission conditions on ETFs are not met.

Commissions are billed in the same currency as the transaction.

Each partial execution of a transaction is subject to the full commission, unless the transaction is executed in its entirety on the same business day. Full commission is charged for each separate transaction performed on the same security. Additional fees may be charged by the local securities exchange commission and/or by the stock market and are billed in the same currency as the transaction.

When a transaction is placed through one of our services (e.g., a representative), and then modified via another service (e.g., the website), the commission will be based on the higher of the two commission schedules. Option exercises are subject to the same commission schedule as share transactions made through a representative. A currency conversion is required for any trade involving a security in a currency other than that of the account in which the trade is settled. When carrying out this conversion, National Bank Direct Brokerage acts as principal and can earn, in addition to the commission applicable to the transaction, revenue based on the spread between the bid and ask rates. Short selling borrowed securities may result in additional fees. These fees vary based on the markets and without prior notice. Contact one of our representatives for more information about these fees.
