As an experienced trader who prioritizes transparency and risk management, I pay very close attention to the cost structure of any broker I consider—especially for CFD indices like the US100. With SBI SECURITIES, all fees are clearly laid out, which is a positive sign of a trustworthy, well-regulated institution under Japan’s FSA oversight. From my research and review, the primary trading cost for indices such as the US100 on SBI SECURITIES comes in the form of spreads, with CFDs reportedly starting from 0.5 pips. This is relatively competitive compared to many counterparts, though actual spreads can fluctuate, especially during periods of lower liquidity or market gaps. What matters for me is that SBI does not charge additional commissions on most CFD index trades—trading fees are built into the spread. Non-trading costs are also conservative: there are no withdrawal or deposit fees, and account management is free. However, I note that users have pointed out a risk of slippage, especially around illiquid times or market opens. This can cause your executed price to deviate from the expected quote, occasionally resulting in higher-than-anticipated trading costs. I also consider the minimum deposit, which is reasonable at ¥10,000, but for non-Japanese clients, currency conversion and language could be hurdles. Overall, I find the cost structure transparent, but I remain alert to market conditions that can increase slippage and actual trading costs during volatility. For serious index traders, factoring in real-time spread and execution quality is critical before committing large capital with this broker.
