Speaking from my experience as an independent forex trader, evaluating the total trading costs with MBKET requires a cautious approach, especially given what I’ve learned about their operational background. MBKET does offer a wide range of products, including derivatives like indices, such as the US100. However, since MBKET is currently unregulated and flagged for “suspicious regulatory license” with a high potential risk rating, I personally exercise increased scrutiny in all cost assessments. When trading indices through brokers like MBKET, typical trading costs can include spreads, commissions, overnight financing (swap) fees, and possibly hidden charges such as wider bid/ask spreads or platform fees. In regulated environments, brokers usually provide clear breakdowns of these costs; unfortunately, due to MBKET’s lack of regulatory oversight, transparency can be inconsistent. From my perspective, this makes it more challenging to accurately calculate your final trading cost per index position. For me, the lack of clear regulatory guidance means it’s especially important to verify all commission schedules, account for potential slippage, and carefully read any available terms about index trading. As a rule, I would reach out directly to MBKET’s customer support for explicit clarification on their commission structures for US100 trades, including any overnight holding or inactivity fees. Given the inherent high risk identified, I would personally approach trading costs—and MBKET as a whole—with significant caution, prioritizing brokers with robust, transparent regulatory credentials for my most important index positions.
