    $10 a trade is actually very very expensive if you get bad service while $250 a trade is very cheap if you get a good broker who helps you to make good money.
    $30 is gouging the customer $250 is robbery even with service , if the nzx wants to encourage more trading retail pricing needs to fall in price as well.

    By the way i see ig markets has recently dropped commissions to .08% for asx stock trades whats the cheapest in nz .30% ..... robbery

    Is it just NZX is dearer, otherwise how do these other brokers - some in Aus for example only charge around $10??

    With the likes of Interactive Brokers a trade on the NYSE or Nasdaq is typically only US$1, and A$6 on the ASX. They don't do the NZSE unfortunately.

    I would surmise the high transaction cost is due to a lack of competition. Theres only 2 ‘discount’ brokers to choose from. We need more competition.

    No. The costs tends to be an amount per share with trades I've done in the US$10k to $20k range normally being US$1 (as this is the minimum charged). Costs have reached as high as US$1.60 for some trades (so can easily increase by 60%!). For Aussie trades they all appear to be A$6 but I've not made as many of these.

    There is a monthly charge of US10 if you do not have at least US$100,000 with them (which can include cash on hand).

    i found this funny

    The NZX pricing structure announcement this week shows the stock exchange is finally travelling down the right road.
    After decades of going down blind alleys and cul-de-sacs, chief executive Mark Peterson has steered the exchange in the right direction, although the bourse has a long way to go before it achieves its full potential.
    The main problem with the domestic sharemarket is that it has been run for the benefit of brokers, rather than investors and companies wishing to raise equity

    isnt the nzx changes announced this week only for the benefit even more now for brokers if they dont pass on the savings to retail clients?
