Are you actually Canada’s first $0 equity options trading platform?

Yep. There are no commission or contract trading fees when you trade equity options with us. We stopped charging fees on equity options in October of 2025. As of August 3, 2026, more than nine months after we did it, one other platform in Canada realized it wasn’t necessary to charge clients excessive fees and followed our lead.
