As an experienced trader evaluating Cathay Futures, I found that obtaining a detailed and transparent fee schedule is a challenge. The available information does not lay out the precise commissions, spread charges, or additional costs for trading futures or leveraged forex through this broker. From my perspective, this lack of clarity represents a significant consideration—especially in an industry where clear, upfront cost disclosure is essential to risk management and informed decision-making. Based on what I could gather, Cathay Futures offers margin trading across a broad range of global exchanges, including those in Asia, Europe, and the Americas. Margin requirements, such as the NT$356,000 initial margin for the Taiwan Stock Index (TX) and individualized figures for international products like the Thirty-year U.S. ultra-long bonds, are specified. However, nowhere did I find specific fee structures, such as per-contract commissions, spread costs, or platform/clearing fees. This omission makes it difficult for me to accurately estimate my trading costs in advance, which is never ideal for anyone managing risk or planning strategies. Given these uncertainties, I would exercise caution and recommend contacting Cathay Futures’ customer service directly to request the most current and comprehensive breakdown of all fees involved. For me, fully understanding costs upfront is central to building trust and maintaining profitability, so transparency on these points is a top priority when assessing any broker.
