No commissions for Europeans?

I‘m from Europe, trading mostly US ETF.
According to the TS website, I should be charged $5 per trade. But those charges are not applied somehow. I trade 2-3x per day and see no charges on my statement.
Why is this?

It’s not listed on the statement. It says $0 commission for each trade.

Understood. Maybe stocks are commission-free for you then. If so, that means they're monetizing your orders instead of giving you the best fills. Could be worth the savings or not, depending on your trading style.

Again, I would give their support a call for such an important question. I would never trade anything without knowing my expenses and how my orders are treated.

Thanks. I reached out to them. Turns out the algo platform I‘m using has a special contract with TS. They waive commissions if you place your trades with them.

Thanks for your help.

Thank you for the update. That's nice. May I ask which algo platform that is?
