Based on my thorough examination of the available data, TickTickTrader does not operate traditional ECN or raw spread accounts that would carry standard per-lot commissions the way regulated forex brokers do. Instead, my research shows that TickTickTrader structures its offering as a proprietary firm providing funded futures trading accounts. Here, they charge access and evaluation fees—either as a one-time or recurring subscription—depending on whether you opt for their direct or evaluation account models. As someone who has traded with both classic ECN brokers and with prop firms like this in the past, I know the importance of understanding exactly how fees are applied. For TickTickTrader, there’s no indication in the public materials of additional per-lot commissions on top of these upfront payments. Instead, the cost of accessing a live account appears to be covered almost entirely by these initial or periodic fees. I personally am very cautious when dealing with brokers or trading services operating without regulatory oversight, as is the case here. Without clear, independent regulation, fee structures can change or be ambiguously applied, and recourse is limited in the event of disputes. Even though TickTickTrader’s fees are described as reasonable and slightly lower than some competitors, I wouldn’t assume there are no other costs—before committing, I’d want to read all participation and trading agreements carefully. For me, a broker’s fee transparency and regulatory status are non-negotiable for long-term trading trust.
