As someone who has navigated the world of forex and indices trading for many years, I always start by carefully assessing both explicit and hidden costs before engaging with any broker. With Shahjalal Islami Bank Securities Ltd, my initial concern arises from their lack of regulatory oversight, according to available information, which in itself introduces significant ambiguity in terms of fee transparency and potential security for client funds. From what I’ve gathered, Shahjalal Islami Bank Securities Ltd advertises a suite of services, including online trading, but there is little concrete detail on spreads, commissions, or swap rates—key components that make up total trading costs for products like the US100 index. The only explicit costs presented relate to account maintenance: opening a BO account at 500 BDT, yearly maintenance at 450 BDT, and closing at 500 BDT. While these are standard administrative fees, they do not clarify the ongoing trading costs for actual index trades. For someone like me, who relies on transparent cost structures to manage risk, this opacity is problematic. Without published information on spreads or transaction commissions, I can’t accurately calculate if trading the US100 here is cost-effective or if unforeseen fees may erode my returns. This lack of detail is a natural consequence of the broker operating without formal regulation, which typically obligates brokers to publish such information. Given the current absence of clarity around total trading costs for instruments like the US100, I would exercise significant caution. In my experience, choosing a broker with clear regulatory status and explicit fee schedules is much more prudent, both for cost control and overall account security.
