Frequently asked questions
What does flatex Online-Broker cost to hold an account?+
The account fee is €0, so there is no monthly charge for keeping the account open. That puts it at the top of 142 brands on this measure. Trading itself is still charged separately, at €5.90 per stock trade.
How much does it cost to trade stocks?+
Each stock trade is charged at €5.90. That sits well back from the front of the table, where the site ranks flatex Online-Broker at position 152 of 166 brands. The site median for stock trade fees is €0.
What can I actually trade on the platform?+
The market list runs to stocks, etfs and cfds. That gives room to build a mixed portfolio rather than holding only shares. Crypto trading and a mobile app both appear in the listed features, so dealing is possible away from a desktop.
How risky are the leveraged products?+
Leverage sits mainly in the CFD side, and the retail loss rate on CFDs is 70.3%. For context, the site median retail loss rate is 70.15%. Anyone drawn to flatex Online-Broker for its cheaper account balance should treat the CFD list separately from the rest.
Which platforms can I use?+
There are three named platforms: flatex next, flatex classic and flatex trader 2.0. That range suits people who want to start on a simpler interface and later move to the more active trading setup. A mobile app is listed as a feature too.
Is flatex Online-Broker the right fit for a small account?+
With an account fee of €0, the running cost does not eat into a small balance, so the €5.90 per-trade charge is the main thing to budget for. The low-fee model is listed on the pricing page. It suits investors who trade periodically rather than many times a day.
