In my direct experience analyzing BOOM as a trading platform, I found that inactivity fees are indeed part of their fee structure. For me, this is a point that deserves careful consideration, particularly if you plan on holding an account with periods of low or no activity. Specifically, BOOM charges an inactivity fee of HKD 200 for individual or joint accounts and HKD 1,000 for corporate accounts if the account is deemed dormant. The rationale behind such fees, in my understanding, is to cover administrative costs associated with maintaining inactive accounts, which is common among many established brokers. I believe it’s crucial for account holders to be aware that, while BOOM does not charge for deposits, withdrawals, or account minimums, inactivity can result in these fees being applied. I strongly advise potential users to read the account terms carefully and consider whether their trading habits might trigger these charges. Personally, I always factor such costs into my assessment since they can affect long-term account value, especially for less active investors. Being proactive in managing account activity can help avoid these fees and contribute to a more predictable trading cost structure overall.
