As someone who has spent years evaluating brokers, I always scrutinize trading costs before committing capital. In the case of ChaoShang, it’s important to note that, based on the official information available, this broker does not offer indices—including the US100—as part of its tradable instruments. ChaoShang’s product lineup currently centers on securities, futures, and options, but there’s no mention of indices or CFDs on indices like the US100. This distinction matters greatly because the cost structure—such as spreads, commissions, swaps, or overnight fees—can vary significantly between asset classes. Since ChaoShang does not facilitate trading on the US100 or other common indices, there is no transparent information about trading fees, minimum deposits, or additional charges related to index products. For traders like me who place high value on regulatory oversight, it is reassuring that ChaoShang is regulated by Hong Kong’s SFC. Still, the unclear fee structure cited in the available broker summary signals that even for the products they do support, such as futures and securities, specific cost details are not easily accessible. This lack of transparency is a potential red flag—especially for those considering less familiar platforms or asset classes. Personally, whenever costs are unclear or products are missing, I err on the side of caution and continue my broker search until I find clear, reliable fee disclosures on the products I intend to trade.
