In my experience as a forex trader, I approach every broker with caution, especially when there are significant regulatory concerns. With Proton Markets, there are some notable red flags I cannot ignore—primarily the fact that it lacks valid regulatory information, carries a suspicious regulatory license, and is flagged for high potential risk. This low trust score is material for me since my first priority is fund safety. Focusing on the question about trading instruments and the fee system, from what I could gather, Proton Markets appears to segment account tiers by deposit levels, minimum spreads, and leverage options, with spreads starting from 0.9 and leverage up to 1:400 for higher deposit brackets. However, the information about specific tradable instruments or a detailed breakdown of fees beyond spreads is quite limited and non-transparent. The minimum deposits, especially at the upper end (up to $50,000), feel unreasonably high compared to mainstream, well-regulated brokers—a significant drawback for most retail traders. Because reliable details concerning commissions, products, and other key trading conditions are missing or unclear, I personally find it difficult to identify genuine benefits from Proton Markets' offering. When a broker does not openly publish every key trading cost and instrument, it raises concerns over fairness and transparency. For me, those are essential criteria before I would trust any broker with my capital.
