As an experienced trader, my evaluation of Fortex is shaped by a distinct need for transparency, especially regarding trading costs like commissions per lot. According to the information available, Fortex positions itself more as a technology provider for financial institutions rather than a standard retail forex broker. They offer ECN solutions such as Fortex 7, AlgoX, and their Bridge OMX, which connect to global liquidity providers and emphasize low-latency infrastructure. However, I have not found any explicit or verifiable details regarding commission structures, per-lot charges, or raw spread accounts in their publicly listed materials. In my years trading in the FX industry, transparency around fees—particularly for ECN or raw spread accounts—has always been a critical factor for trust. A reputable ECN broker typically outlines commission per lot, since this fee structure is central to ECN account models. The absence of this information with Fortex is a significant concern for me, and it makes it difficult to fairly assess or compare their cost competitiveness. Moreover, I must stress that Fortex currently operates without valid regulatory oversight. This, combined with a lack of public commission details, increases the overall risk for traders. Without clear, regulated disclosure on trading costs, I would personally exercise heightened caution and seek alternatives with verifiable cost structures and regulatory protections. For me, ensuring my broker is upfront about commission and regulatory compliance is non-negotiable.
