Most discount brokerages are $25 - $30 per trade (up to about $2,000).
If you are a heavy trader, some will rebate that back down to $10 or so.
Standard rates are steep, but if you are trading $2,000 or more at a time it works out to about 1.5% to buy or sell.
I work for a brokerage (not as a broker) and my cost to trade is $75 per transaction (ouch!).
