I keep money in citibank for the added banking service, but asked for a brokerage account to invest in. They started with 9.95 fees for trades, but then went to 4.95 and then last year with the commission war, dropped them to "N/A". I then started seeing a $4.95 commission on stop orders last month but not on market so I placed market orders. I look back at my recap and see that every one of the "N/A" orders actually charged $4.95. Every "N/A" commission regardless of the order type, platform, etc.
Here's a screenshot of tonight for 1 share stop order in C with the $4.95 commission. https://imgur.com/a/FN3S3di
Here's a market order for the same share with N/A commission https://imgur.com/a/CTqG8QC
To me "N/A" means "not applicable". I called citibank and they said there's nothing wrong. I feel like its fraud bc 5 bucks is a lot if you're trading a few stocks or even just 1 or 2. Yeah, I should have checked every trade I made, to see if a commission was taken out, but then again, should I if I see "N/A" like they stated in the screenshots?
Any input, advice, comments are appreciated.
