What are
Futures & Options Commissions?
When you trade futures and options, you pay a commission to your broker for providing access to the Exchange and executing your orders. As part of this service, your broker also issues a daily trading statement, which makes it clear exactly what you’ve been charged.

Tickmill’s commission is based on transparency and includes all of the below fees for our clients:
Commissions: fees that are applied by Tickmill for trade execution.
Order Routing Fees: fees that are applied upon execution of the trade.

When you begin to trade futures or options, you have to become familiar with the concept of margin. Quite simply, it’s a ‘down-payment’ needed to be able to buy or sell a futures or options contract.
The margin is set by the exchange and is based on the market volatility. So, if there is a high level of market volatility, there will be an increased margin requirement. This is because the margin is used to minimise the ‘counterparty’ risk and ensure that clearing members can meet their obligations to their customers.
