That does seem a bit high, though I know that most firms have a grid as far as ticket charges goes. This means the higher the volume the lower the ticket charges. Our firm for example offers ticket charges between $14 and $18 depending on volume for stock. I would look around and see what firms are offering as far as ticket charges goes if you are unhappy with your current ticket structure. 

$18 fund, minimum $50 equity.

We are pretty much $20 across the board…fixed income is $40…also options are $20 plus $1.25 per contract.

Stock Trades <2100 = $18…  >2100 $16+.01/sh
