Based on my experience and research, First Shanghai does not publicly list distinct forex account types in the way many international brokers do. Unlike some platforms that clearly separate accounts by features such as minimum deposit, spreads, or leverage, First Shanghai appears to focus primarily on broad financial services—particularly Hong Kong and international stocks, futures, commodities, and related investments. I was unable to find detailed segmentation like standard, ECN, or demo accounts. From a cautious perspective, this lack of transparency makes it difficult to directly compare specific account offerings for trading forex or CFDs specifically. The available information instead emphasizes a comprehensive service suite, including margin financing, custodian functions, IPO subscriptions, and nominee services, under a regulated environment overseen by Hong Kong’s Securities and Futures Commission. While this regulatory oversight gives some reassurance regarding client protection, the absence of clear account types and detailed conditions (such as minimum deposits or fee structures) means I could not make the granular comparisons I can with other brokers I have evaluated. As someone who values detailed, upfront information when choosing where to place funds, I would recommend reaching out to First Shanghai directly for a full breakdown of account features before making any decisions. For me, understanding exactly what each account entails is essential before committing significant capital.
