In my assessment as an independent trader, I must point out that LiveTrade does not provide meaningful transparency on trading costs for indices like the US100. When considering any broker, especially one offering access to high-demand products such as major index CFDs, I make it a priority to carefully review spreads, commissions, overnight fees, and any miscellaneous charges. Unfortunately, based on the information available, LiveTrade is unregulated, carries a high potential risk warning, and has a suspicious regulatory profile. There is no publicly documented information specifying spreads, commission structures, or ancillary fees for index trading. This lack of disclosure is a major concern for me, because it not only impedes my ability to calculate my costs per trade, but it also reflects larger questions about transparency and trustworthiness. Why does this matter? In unregulated environments, cost structures are often subject to change without notice, and traders may be exposed to hidden or excessive costs. For an instrument as liquid as the US100, reputable brokers will almost always publish detailed cost breakdowns, including typical spreads and overnight financing rates. Without that, I have to proceed very cautiously. In my professional practice, I avoid engaging with brokers that cannot provide this critical cost information up front. For me, the combination of missing data and lack of regulatory oversight presents too great a risk, so I cannot accurately break down total trading costs for the US100 or any similar index on LiveTrade. I urge others to demand absolute transparency before proceeding with any live trading.
