Based on my research into Forex Sport, here’s how I assess the potential trading costs for indices like the US100. Forex Sport presents itself as a regulated Australian broker, with oversight from ASIC, which does add to its credibility. However, the information directly regarding spreads, commissions, or swaps for index CFDs such as US100 is not fully detailed in the available public materials. In my experience, the total trading cost for an index like the US100 typically consists of three primary elements: the bid-ask spread, any applicable commissions, and overnight financing or swap rates. With Forex Sport, I noted that the platform claims “no hidden fees” and states there are no transaction charges for transfers over $1000. While this is beneficial for deposits and withdrawals, it doesn’t explicitly clarify the ongoing trading costs on instruments like indices. Given that Forex Sport operates as a Market Maker, it’s common for such brokers to build costs primarily into the spread, and less commonly through per-trade commissions on index CFDs. For me, transparency around instrument-specific costs is essential, especially with indices prone to variable spreads during high-volatility periods. Because full costs per trade are not stipulated, I would urge any trader to proceed cautiously and to request explicit spread, commission, and swap information for US100 before actively trading. Regulatory oversight is a positive, but I base my engagement with any broker on clear, upfront cost structures for each product I intend to trade. If Forex Sport is unable to provide this when asked, I consider that a significant gap, especially for active index trading.
