As someone who places a strong emphasis on transparency and risk management in my trading, I’ve taken a close look at the fee structure at United Securities Co. After reviewing what’s available, the company charges commissions depending on the type of account you hold. For their Professional account, there’s a commission fee of $4 per side. While this is a standard fee in some markets, for me, it’s crucial to consider the added cost per round lot, especially when trading actively or with higher volumes. Regarding spreads, United Securities Co. advertises spreads starting from 0 pips for Professional accounts. However, I’m always cautious about “from 0 pips” claims, as real market conditions, liquidity, and time of day can widen spreads, impacting trade costs. For Standard accounts, the spread begins at 1 pip, but there is no outright commission charged. For my own approach, I recognize that while commission-free trades sound appealing, spreads are often marked up to offset the lack of commission, which can indirectly increase costs—so it’s not just about the numbers on paper, but how they translate in practice. A key limitation I’ve noticed is that United Securities Co. does not offer demo accounts. For me, the absence of a demo makes it impossible to test these fees in live market conditions before committing funds, which raises my level of caution. Overall, while the fee disclosures are straightforward, I remain wary and would recommend careful calculation of total transaction costs and a consideration of the lack of regulatory oversight before proceeding with any broker, including United Securities Co.
