As an independent trader, I place a premium on understanding all trading costs before opening or funding any account. When considering Finansia for index trading—like the US100—my first step is to examine their published fee structure and evaluate transparency and regulatory safeguards. From what I have found, Finansia focuses mainly on securities within Thailand, and their primary cost model is a tiered commission that is straightforward for equities. For standard stock trading, commissions range from 0.10% up to 0.25% depending on volume and the channel used, with lower rates for higher volume online trades. However, on indices such as the US100, I could not find explicit information regarding spreads, overnight financing rates, or exact commissions for these products. This presents challenges for me as a trader: without regulatory oversight and full transparency, hidden or additional costs—such as wide dealing spreads, platform fees, or funding charges—could apply, and I would have no formal recourse. Moreover, since Finansia is not regulated for currency or international products, I must be especially cautious about both pricing clarity and overall risk. In summary, while their equities trading commissions appear competitive for Thai stocks, there is insufficient detail regarding total costs for trading indices like the US100. For my own peace of mind and financial safety, I would need to obtain firm, upfront details about all applicable fees and ensure they align with my trading expectations before proceeding with Finansia for index products. Without this, using an unregulated broker for such trading would pose substantial risk.
