As an experienced trader, when I look at Taiwan Cooperative Securities (TCS) for index trading such as the US100, I find the transparency around trading costs notably lacking. Unlike many global brokers, TCS does not publicly list a clear fee structure for products, spreads, or commissions on its platform or public documents. This absence makes it difficult for me to accurately estimate the total trading costs I might incur with them. Based on my trading principles, I always want to account for all potential charges—this includes spreads, commissions, platform or account fees, and other transactional costs. TCS presents itself as a regulated brokerage under the Taipei Exchange (TPEx), which provides some baseline confidence regarding fair dealing and regulatory compliance. However, I believe it’s critical to recognize that the license number is undisclosed, and specific product cost breakdowns are absent. In my practice, this level of opacity is a significant concern because unclear costs can erode returns, especially in fast-moving index products like the US100. For me, the prudent approach is to avoid making any large deposits or trades until I can directly confirm, through their customer support or account management, what the exact costs are—including minimum commission charges, spread ranges, and any additional hidden expenses. Ultimately, my experience tells me that full cost transparency is essential for preserving capital and managing risk—qualities that I have not yet seen clearly demonstrated by TCS when it comes to index trading.
