As someone who has explored a variety of brokers over the years, I need to clarify that JaneStreet operates quite differently from typical retail trading platforms. In my research and experience, JaneStreet is a major liquidity provider and specialized quantitative trading firm, focusing on institutional-level strategies and market making across several asset classes—including indexes like the US100—but it is not structured for individual or retail trading. When I analyze the cost structure at traditional brokers, I look for spreads, commissions, platform fees, swap rates, and slippage. However, JaneStreet’s model is designed for participants on institutional venues. They use proprietary, in-house trading systems rather than standard retail platforms like MT4 or MT5, and they don’t advertise public fee schedules or ticket charges that a retail trader would encounter. For institutional partners or trading counterparties, costs typically come in the form of bid-ask spreads set by JaneStreet as the market maker, and potentially via negotiated fees tied to the venue or through bespoke trading agreements—these are often opaque to outsiders and not published. Since JaneStreet is regulated for futures dealing in Hong Kong, any index product would most likely be traded via exchange-listed futures or over-the-counter swaps with costs embedded directly in the spread or contractual terms. For individual traders like myself, this means there’s no direct access to traditional index products like US100 through JaneStreet, and no transparent breakdown of trading costs as found with retail-focused brokers. I recommend that traders seeking clarity and cost transparency for trading index products consider platforms designed for retail use, where cost structures are straightforward and publicly disclosed.
