In my experience as an independent trader, understanding a broker’s fee structure is vital to evaluating its suitability. With Huatai International, I found that they do charge a commission per lot on standard transactions in their main markets, particularly visible in their brokerage commission for stock-related dealings. The commission stands at 0.25% of the transaction amount per lot, with a minimum charge of 100 RMB. This isn’t specific to an “ECN” or “raw spread account” as traditionally defined in forex, but it follows a clear per lot commission model frequently encountered with regulated entities in Hong Kong. The rationale behind this is that, under Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) regulation, brokers in Hong Kong often implement transparent, percentage-based commissions. This structure promotes clarity for clients, which is further supported by their published fee schedules. However, I didn’t find explicit references to standard ECN or raw spread forex accounts like those offered by offshore brokers. Instead, Huatai International’s offering appears to be geared more toward regulated, professional services in futures, leveraged FX, equities, and wealth management rather than high-leverage spot forex trading. For me, the absence of hidden fees and the regulatory clarity are positive, but traders focused strictly on ECN forex may need to clarify the exact product classification and fee schedule with the broker’s support team before making significant deposits or trades. This cautious approach is always necessary when assessing commission structures that impact trading costs directly.
