IB fee on stop orders?

    Does IB charge an additional fee beyond commissions for stop orders that get activated?

    Also, i'm curious. My old broker used to force me to place stops at a minimum .25 below bid. I'm not sure why they did this. Does IB have similar requirements? Any speculation why a broker would have such a requirement?

    Thanks,
