Based on my experience as a trader reviewing Cathay Futures, I have to approach the subject of commission structures conservatively due to the lack of explicitly disclosed fee details. From what I’ve observed, Cathay Futures is regulated by the Taipei Exchange and is primarily focused on futures and leveraged foreign exchange products, providing margin trading on both domestic and international exchanges. However, the available information does not specify clear details about commissions per lot for any ECN or raw spread account type. This ambiguity in fee transparency is noteworthy for someone like me who prioritizes understanding the total cost of trading before committing capital. In my practice, it’s crucial to verify all potential charges, such as commissions, spreads, and margin requirements, directly with the broker before opening an account. While Cathay Futures appears established and regulated, the details about commission charges—especially per lot, which is standard for ECN or raw accounts elsewhere—aren’t readily accessible. Because of this, I would proceed with caution and recommend direct communication with their customer service to clarify commission structures, ensuring there are no surprises that could materially impact trading outcomes. For me, clear and upfront disclosure of trading costs is essential for any broker I choose to work with.
