As a trader focused on risk and regulatory protections, I always examine total costs before trading instruments like the US100 index on any platform, including EBSI. Unfortunately, from my review of EBSI’s available documentation and platform highlights, I could not find a public, transparent listing of precise “all-in” trading costs—such as spreads, commission structures, or overnight funding rates—specifically for index CFDs like the US100. What gave me some initial confidence was EBSI’s long operating history (over 20 years) and its regulation by the Hong Kong SFC. This oversight generally suggests the broker must follow certain disclosures and safeguard client assets, which I consider essential for YMYL (Your Money or Your Life) topics like trading. EBSI offers access to MetaTrader 4, which supports fast execution (an average reported execution speed of 114ms) and full control over order flow; however, execution quality is only one component of the total trading cost. It’s worth noting that EBSI’s documentation lists a “medium potential risk” and flags an unverified HKGX (Hong Kong Gold Exchange) license for some business lines, so I approach this as a signal to remain vigilant and contact them directly for clarification about trading fees. In the absence of published, instrument-specific cost breakdowns for major indices, I would not trade the US100 with EBSI until I have written confirmation of their spread, any additional commission, and possible overnight or conversion fees. That’s always been my rule when dealing with incomplete cost transparency—even when the core regulatory framework is solid.
