As a trader with years of experience evaluating brokers, I always pay close attention to transparency around trading costs. When considering Instreet for trading indices like the US100, I found it challenging to get a clear understanding of the total trading costs due to Instreet's limited public disclosure on spreads, commissions, leverage, or minimum deposit requirements. While Instreet is regulated by ASIC and operates under a Straight Through Processing (STP) license, I noticed that there’s scant information available regarding trading conditions—especially those directly affecting trading costs. From my research, Instreet specializes more in structured investment products and index-linked solutions rather than offering traditional forex or CFD trading platforms. There’s no mention of demo accounts or detailed contract specifications, so I couldn’t obtain concrete figures for spreads or transaction fees on the US100 or other indices. Without these key details, I found it nearly impossible to calculate potential total trading costs for active trading strategies. Because indices trading costs typically comprise spread, commission, and any swap or overnight holding fees, the lack of precise data means I would exercise significant caution before committing funds. Personally, I look for brokers with clear, upfront disclosures about all trading expenses. In the absence of such transparency at Instreet, I would be wary of hidden or unpredictable costs, and I would recommend contacting their customer service directly for up-to-date, detailed cost information before proceeding.
