As an experienced trader who evaluates brokers conservatively, I pay close attention to both explicit and hidden trading costs, especially when it comes to indices like the US100. For Taishin Securities, based on what I have gathered, it’s important to state upfront that this broker currently does not offer direct access to indices such as the US100 for retail traders. Their platform focuses primarily on securities, futures, stocks, ETFs, bonds, commodities, and derivatives, and there is no indication of indices or related CFDs being among their tradable instruments. In my own process, when a broker does not list an asset class like indices, I see this as a signal to proceed with caution and to set correct expectations: there won't be costs involved for instruments they don't provide. Instead, if I were to attempt trading US indices exposure, I’d be restricted to available products, such as ETFs or futures, if offered. Taishin Securities provides limited transparency around fee structures for even their available products. For me, the absence of clear information about spreads, commissions, or overnight financing charges means I cannot responsibly estimate or break down trading costs for US indices here. This lack of visibility underscores why I believe in always reaching out to customer support for updated fee schedules and reading any official documentation before making funding decisions. Given the platform's restricted international offerings and fee opacity, I personally would look elsewhere for transparent, comprehensive access to index trading—especially for major benchmarks like the US100.
