As an experienced trader, I approach broker fee structures with careful scrutiny, particularly when transparency is lacking. At Pi Securities, the published commission structure for equities trading begins at 0.20% for lower monthly trading volumes. For small retail investors, this is in line with what I have seen at other brokers in the Thai equities space. However, I noticed that as your monthly trading volume increases, the commission details become far less clear—most pricing tiers and "premium" fee structures are only disclosed via private agreement. Personally, this lack of upfront disclosure is a red flag for me, as it prevents effective cost comparison and could conceal unexpected charges for high-volume or professional trading activity. Additionally, Pi Securities does not clearly list spreads for CFD, forex, or commodities products on any platform, which is not surprising given they do not offer these asset classes. The firm's focus is on stocks, mutual funds, bonds, and derivatives, meaning spread costs may not be relevant here in the way they are for forex brokers. Still, for active traders who value predictable costs, the opacity around premium fees feels like a risk. In summary, while entry-level commissions are standard, the absence of detailed, public fee schedules for larger accounts or additional services makes it difficult for me to fully assess the total cost of trading at Pi Securities. For anyone considering them, I suggest requesting written confirmation of all applicable fees before depositing funds.
