From my experience and based strictly on the available context, JaneStreet is fundamentally different from typical forex brokers that cater to retail traders. Unlike brokers offering ECN or raw spread accounts—which usually charge commissions per lot traded—JaneStreet does not appear to have such account structures or pricing mechanisms. This firm is a large, institutional liquidity provider and quantitative trading company. Their operations focus on market making and proprietary quantitative strategies across various asset classes, including equities, bonds, options, and ETFs, primarily for institutions and not individual investors. There is no mention in the public information of ECN or raw spread accounts, nor of any standard commission-per-lot model. Their technology stack is in-house and designed for their proprietary use; they do not support widely-used retail trading platforms like MT4 or MT5. Because of this structure, standard fee schedules are unlikely to apply the way they do for retail brokers, making it essential to highlight that individual traders would not interact with JaneStreet in the conventional account/commission sense. For me, as someone who often looks for transparent fee information before using any new platform, the absence of these details—and the very nature of JaneStreet's business—would mean they are not a viable option for retail trading, and there should be no expectation of familiar forex commission models. As always, I urge anyone considering a firm to thoroughly understand its target clients, regulation, and business model before proceeding, as the risks and access may not be appropriate for individual portfolio needs.
