Frequently Asked Questions

What is the account minimum?

Our current account minimum is $30,000.

What account types does CenterPoint offer?

CenterPoint offers individual, joint, and corporate accounts.

Do you accept foreign accounts?

We accept most foreign accounts. Please contact us for details.

Why don’t you offer free commissions?

You’ve probably heard the expression “nothing in life is free,” and zero-commission trading is no different. You get what you pay for. When brokers offer zero-commission trading, they do not simply eat the cost of commissions. Instead, they monetize your order flow, which may result in slower executions and subpar fill prices. While you save on commission fees, you may end up paying more overall.

Do I need a specialized trading broker?

Specialized trading brokers, such as CenterPoint Securities, are not for everyone. Our firm caters specifically to active traders who value quality order executions, advanced trading tools, and access to resources you won’t find at traditional brokers. If you place trades daily or weekly, you will likely benefit from a specialized trading broker. If you invest for the long-term, most traditional brokers will be adequate for your investing style.

What is Direct Market Access?

Direct Market Access (DMA) allows traders to route their orders directly to the market. When you place an order at a non-DMA broker, your order is first routed to the broker before being sent to market. The broker acts as a middleman, which can lead to slower executions, missed trades, and subpar fill prices. DMA gives traders more control over their order flow, resulting in faster executions and better fill prices.

Does CenterPoint enforce the Pattern Day Trader Rule?

Yes. The PDT Rule is enforced for all accounts.

Is my trading account insured?

Yes. The Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) is a nonprofit organization that protects stocks, bonds, and other securities in case a brokerage firm goes bankrupt and assets are missing.

The SIPC will cover up to $500,000 in securities, including a $250,000 limit for cash held in a brokerage account.
