Questrade offers free ETF purchases, while sales are subject to a trading fee of $0.01\/share with a minimum sell order of $4.95. Luckily, the fee is capped at $9.95 per sell order. There are no accounting opening fees and no maintenance fees for TFSA, RRSP, FHSA, RESP, and RRIF accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This platform offers all the essential registered accounts, including the new FHSA. Non-registered accounts include various types of entity, margin, and forex options. There really is an account available to almost every type of investor, <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Questrade offers two platforms: IQ Web (website) and IQ Edge (desktop application). Both offer relatively the same functionality, but active investors will prefer IQ Edge because it gives access to more options and customization. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The IQ Web platform is very easy to use and you will have a complete experience. IQ Web does a great job of providing basic trading options. These include quotes, charts, watch lists, news and account management. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the IQ Edge desktop platform, you&#8217;ll have many more customization options, including the addition of quick trade buttons, alerts, a profit and loss calculator, filtering, and a list of market participants for the U.S. and Canadian markets. Questrade also offers Morningstar as a resource for information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Account maintenance fee: <\/strong><\/span>$0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Minimum amount to open a brokerage account:<\/strong><\/span><span>&nbsp;<\/span>$1,000<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Commission-free ETFs:<\/strong><\/span><span> All f<\/span>ree to purchase (Canada and US) and<span> cost $0.01 per share traded, for a minimum of $4.95 and a maximum of $9.95.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-qtrade\"><strong>Qtrade<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-affiliate-plugin-lasso\">\t\t<div class=\"relative p-10 rounded-sm shadow-(--shadow) !my-20  md:max-w-[900px] md:mx-auto\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"absolute left-3 right-3 sm:right-auto bottom-full bg-primary-dark text-white text-center text-sm md:text-base font-medium py-2 px-8 rounded-t-lg w-content mx-auto\">\n\t\t\t\t\tGet up to $250 cashback \t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"md:flex gap-20 items-center\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"shrink-0 md:w-1\/3 flex flex-col items-center justify-center\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hardbacon-prod.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com\/comparators\/5f53bcff863fd264d0c38120_offer_brokerage_account\" alt=\"Offer Image\" class=\"!my-0 mx-auto\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"text-center md:text-left\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"font-medium text-xl md:text-2xl block mb-10\">Qtrade Direct Investing<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"font-regular\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Get $250 cash back when you invest a minimum of $1,000\u202f.

You can buy\/sell Canadian stocks and ETFs for just $0.014\/share and a minimum order fee of $1.49 per trade.
