From my experience as an independent forex trader, I always scrutinize total trading costs—especially with brokers like Tifia, given the current background. Tifia does offer indices including major ones like the US100, but before considering the fee structure, I need to stress the considerable risks highlighted by their regulatory troubles and consistent withdrawal issues reported by multiple users. These elements fundamentally shape how I approach any cost analysis. Looking purely at the numbers, Tifia’s account types show minimum deposits ranging from $10 to $500, with spreads on their lower-tier accounts starting from 2.2 pips and as tight as 0.0 pips for high deposit ECN options. For indices like the US100, the minimum spread you’ll encounter will likely be wider than for forex majors—often starting around 1.1 pips or higher, though their published details remain vague. In my trading, I’ve learned that “from” spread levels advertised by high-risk, unregulated brokers rarely match real execution, and slippage is reported here, so actual costs could be much higher. Swap (overnight) fees and commissions weren’t disclosed transparently, which signals a potential hidden cost. Beyond these standard charges, the most critical “cost” here is the very real risk tied to potential non-withdrawal of funds and revoked regulation. For me, no tight spread or advertised trading condition can offset major trust and withdrawal issues. Therefore, with Tifia, the apparent commission or spread is only a small part—the unpredictable and potentially catastrophic risk to principal must be part of what I consider my “total cost” when trading an index like the US100. Cautiously, I must conclude the cost profile here is prohibitively uncertain.
