Safety and regulation
Tradier is regulated in the US, listed under FINRA and SIPC, and its legal entity is TRADIER BROKERAGE INC. Membership runs through 104982 with FINRA and SIPC member 52972 with SIPC. Investor protection stands at SIPC up to USD 500,000, so cash and securities held in a failed firm sit within that limit rather than above it.

Frequently asked questions
What does Tradier charge for buying stocks?+
Stock trades are commission-free, with a stock trade fee of $0. The account fee of $120 still applies, and options contracts cost $0.35 each. Many rivals keep the account fee at $0, so weigh that against your trade volume.
Is there an account fee at Tradier?+
Yes. The account fee is $120, which ranks the broker near the back of the field on this measure. If you would rather pay nothing on an idle account, eToro lists an account fee of $0.
How much do I need to deposit to open an account?+
The minimum deposit is $500. That sits well above the $0 at CFI and the $5 at Vantage, so Tradier suits readers with a larger starting balance rather than a small first deposit.
Is Tradier regulated and is my money protected?+
Tradier is regulated in the US under FINRA and SIPC. The legal entity is TRADIER BROKERAGE INC, holding 104982 with FINRA and SIPC member 52972 with SIPC, with investor protection of SIPC up to USD 500,000.
What costs money when I move money in or out?+
Deposits and withdrawals carry a charge of $30 per wire. Budget for that on both directions, since it applies to transfers rather than to trades, and it is the clearest avoidable cost in an otherwise commission-free setup.
Which markets can I trade on Tradier?+
One account covers stocks, options and futures. Options contracts cost $0.35 each, and margin sits at a 9.75% rate, so the fee to watch depends on which of those markets you use most.
Which platforms can I use with Tradier?+
You can trade through Tradier Pro, Tradier Web and Tradier Mobile, so the same account works on desktop and phone. Support itself is narrower: email and help centre is the full list, with no phone or live chat line listed.
