¹If there is any change in the fees charged by third parties such as exchanges and regulators, RockFlow will adjust the fees it charges on their behalf accordingly.
²To protect clients' interests, RockFlow charges the fractional share trading commission up to 2% of the trade value respectively. If the calculated maximum commission per order is lower than the minimum commission per order, RockFlow would charge the lowest one:
For example, there is a user who buys 0.1 shares of stock at a price of $100 in one order. Since the Min. Charge/Order($0.4) > the Max. Charge/Order($0.02), RockFlow will charge a commission of $0.02 as the lowest price.
