To receive the Early Bird discount (the “Early Bird Discount”), open and fund a New Account and you may be eligible for a 20% discount on trade commission (regular $8.75/trade, discounted $6.95/trade).

If these conditions are not met, the trade commission will subsequently change to regular rate (currently $8.75/trade).
