From my experience trading with larger Chinese brokers like GUOTAI HAITONG, I’ve found that specific information about forex spreads—especially on standard retail products like EUR/USD—can sometimes be ambiguous or hard to access directly. Reviewing the available details, GUOTAI HAITONG is primarily a regulated securities and futures brokerage under CFFEX, focusing on products such as stocks, funds, bonds, futures, and options, mainly within the Chinese domestic markets. While they offer a comprehensive trading app and claim to provide a stable and secure platform, they do not position themselves as a typical forex broker with transparent, published spreads on major currency pairs like EUR/USD. In my case, when considering a broker for forex specifically, transparent real-time spread data is crucial. Unfortunately, there is no clear evidence that GUOTAI HAITONG publicizes or prioritizes retail forex trading and, importantly, does not disclose typical EUR/USD spread levels on standard accounts. Additionally, user reviews mention higher-than-average commissions and complex fee structures, which signals that any currency trading route, if available, might come with higher or less competitive costs than industry-leading forex brokers. Ultimately, for someone prioritizing low and transparent spreads on major pairs such as EUR/USD, I would caution that GUOTAI HAITONG might not fulfill those needs. Before considering them, I would recommend direct inquiry with their customer service and clear written confirmation about forex product access and total transaction costs, as specifics on spreads are not clearly provided by the broker itself.
