As a trader who has spent considerable time analyzing broker choices, I am always careful to review not just product offerings but the crucial matter of trading costs—especially for CFDs and indices like the US100. When considering TD, there are immediate concerns. While the platform presents itself as offering broad access to personal banking and investing services, the available public information does not clearly outline fee schedules or spread ranges for major indices trading. For me, this lack of transparency is a notable red flag, as it makes it difficult to accurately estimate the total trading cost per transaction. Furthermore, I’ve noticed that TD is currently unregulated by financial authorities according to recent data. This means there is no oversight compelling them to disclose or standardize their commission structure, spreads, or swap rates. In my experience, opacity around these charges can lead to unexpected and potentially higher costs for traders, especially on frequently traded indices such as the US100. Without regulatory benchmarks or clear published pricing, it’s difficult for me to confidently calculate slippage, overnight fees, or even basic spread costs. Given these significant information gaps and the absence of regulation, I personally cannot form a precise picture of the total trading costs for US100 on TD, and I would urge fellow traders to exercise considerable caution. In my own strategy, cost clarity is non-negotiable, and lack thereof makes any platform—however accessible—less attractive for serious index trading.
