Based on my experience as an independent trader and a careful review of the information about JaneStreet, I must approach this with extra caution due to its unique business model. JaneStreet is not designed as a traditional retail brokerage platform; rather, it is an institutional liquidity provider and quantitative trading firm. They operate on over 200 electronic venues globally, focusing on market making in products like ETFs, equities, bonds, options, and futures. However, there is no direct evidence or indication that they specifically facilitate retail trading of commodities like Gold (XAU/USD) or Crude Oil for individual clients. Further, JaneStreet lacks traditional retail platforms such as MT4 or MT5, and does not support common public account types. Their technology is primarily proprietary and designed for institutional participants, not for standard retail access. While their institutional activities may involve trading commodities indirectly via ETFs or derivatives on global exchanges, private retail traders—including myself—would not be able to access or trade commodities like Gold or Crude Oil directly through JaneStreet. In my view, JaneStreet is not an appropriate choice for retail commodity trading, and I would advise seeking out a retail-focused, well-regulated broker if your aim is to trade instruments such as XAU/USD or Crude Oil more directly and transparently.
