In my experience as a trader, assessing a broker’s transparency around spreads is fundamental, particularly for managing risk during volatile market conditions. With Monex Europe, however, I have found that critical information about their spread structure—whether fixed or variable—is not clearly disclosed. This lack of detail is concerning, especially since they serve primarily corporate clients with foreign exchange and payment solutions, and do not seem to provide retail FX trading in the traditional sense. The absence of information about spreads, combined with the fact that Monex Europe’s UK regulatory license has been revoked, adds another layer of uncertainty from a risk management perspective. In my own trading, I rely on brokers that are both regulated and forthcoming about how spreads can fluctuate, especially during major news releases when spreads typically widen dramatically on most platforms. Without explicit statements or historical data from Monex Europe, I simply cannot determine how their spreads perform in volatile markets. This makes it hard to trust their suitability for active trading strategies that depend on tight, predictable pricing during high-impact events. For me, this opacity would be a strong reason to exercise caution and seek alternative brokers—preferably those with clear, regulated, and well-documented pricing practices—when navigating periods of market turbulence.
