Where multiple trade orders are placed on the same day, for the same security and on the same side of the market (i.e. all buy orders or all sell orders), each individual order is subject to the applicable commission rate and is counted as a separate trade. All commissions are charged in the currency in which the security is denominated. Where multiple fills over multiple days are required for the same order, commissions will apply to the order for each separate day the fill is completed.
