Are There Any Transaction Fees on Leveraged US Stocks at Pluang?

Yes. Leveraged US Stock trading on Pluang is not free — every leveraged transaction carries a standard transaction fee, and it applies to both 2x leverage and 4x Day Trade, on the buy side and the sell side. The rate is 0.2% for Pluang Plus members and 0.3% for Regular users. This fee covers regulatory reporting and other operational costs associated with routing and recording your order. Separately from the transaction fee, a second cost can apply: if you hold a 2x leveraged position after the exchange closes, you are charged a Daily Leverage Fee for every calendar day the position stays open. These are two distinct charges, not alternatives — a 2x position held overnight can incur both. Each of those two charges is covered in depth in its own dedicated article.


  • Short answer: Yes — leveraged US Stock trading always carries a transaction fee; it is never free.
  • Rate: 0.2% for Pluang Plus members, 0.3% for Regular users.
  • Applies to: Both 2x leverage and 4x Day Trade, on both the buy and the sell side.
  • What it covers: Regulatory reporting and other operational costs of routing and recording your order.
  • A second, separate charge: 2x positions held past the market close also incur a Daily Leverage Fee each calendar day.
  • Not alternatives: A 2x position held overnight can be charged both the transaction fee and the Daily Leverage Fee.
  • What makes up the cost: the standard per-transaction fee applies on both buy and sell, and 2x positions held past market close additionally accrue a Daily Leverage Fee charged every calendar day.

Q: Is leveraged trading on Pluang free in any circumstance?
No. There is no scenario in which a leveraged US Stock transaction carries no fee at all. The standard transaction fee of 0.2% for Pluang Plus or 0.3% for Regular users applies to every leveraged order, whether it is 2x or 4x Day Trade, and whether you are opening or closing. Even a position opened and closed within the same session is charged on both sides.

Q: Does the fee differ between 2x and 4x Day Trade?
The transaction fee itself does not — the same 0.2% or 0.3% applies to both types. What differs is the second charge. Only 2x positions held past the market close attract the Daily Leverage Fee, because 4x Day Trade positions are force-closed before the exchange shuts and therefore never meet the condition that triggers the daily charge in the first place.

Q: How do the two charges relate to each other?
They are independent. The transaction fee is a percentage charged when you trade, on each side of the trade. The Daily Leverage Fee is a holding cost charged per calendar day on 2x positions carried past the close. A 2x position opened, held for several nights and then closed would be charged the transaction fee twice and the Daily Leverage Fee once per day held.

Q: Where should I look for the detailed fee breakdown?
The full structure of what applies to leveraged positions — how the Daily Leverage Fee sits alongside the per-transaction fee — is covered in the dedicated leverage fee-structure article, and the arithmetic of the daily charge itself, with the formula, the per-tier rates and a worked example, has its own article too. This article answers the narrower yes-or-no question of whether fees apply at all. Both of those articles go deeper into the numbers than this one is intended to.
