As someone who approaches brokers with a risk-sensitive mindset, I examined CHIEF’s fee structure closely before considering them for trading. My findings show that CHIEF does not operate like typical forex brokers—rather, their main focus lies in securities and futures trading, and they do not offer forex, indices, or commodities trading. The platform operates exclusively through its self-developed Chief Deal app instead of standard MT4 or MT5 platforms, and there is no information about spreads since forex trading isn’t included. Turning to commissions, CHIEF adopts a relatively transparent model for its supported equities and futures products. For online securities trading, their standard plan charges a commission rate of 0.0675% per transaction, but this is subject to a minimum fee of HK$40 or RMB¥40. The Mini Trade Program, on the other hand, charges 0.1% per transaction without a minimum commission—though consolidation does not apply, which could impact frequent small trades. For those who trade by phone, commissions are higher, at 0.125% with a minimum of HK$68 or RMB¥68. Certain services, such as dividend reinvestment, are commission-free, while grey market trades follow a similar commission structure as standard online trades. There is no indication of additional hidden costs from the provided information, but I never make funding or withdrawal assumptions because these often incur separate charges at other brokers. Since spreads are not advertised and forex is not available, I found commissions to be the central cost consideration. Personally, before choosing a broker like CHIEF, I always compare these fee structures with alternatives—especially considering that more globally recognized platforms might offer greater product diversity and regulatory reassurance. Given the minimum commission amounts, CHIEF seems most cost-effective for investors making larger trades, rather than those looking to execute frequent, small-volume transactions. In every case, I urge fellow traders to carefully review all fee details directly with the provider and remain cautious with any provider that has warning labels regarding license status or regulatory revocation.
