In my experience with GMO CLICK, I have found that their approach to forex trading fees is notably different from the typical ECN or raw spread model that many international traders may be familiar with. GMO CLICK is licensed and regulated by Japan’s FSA and operates primarily for the Japanese market. According to the data available, they do not charge a separate commission per lot for standard forex trading (such as their FX Neo platform). Instead, their model relies on spreads rather than direct per-lot commissions. This means when I trade with GMO CLICK, the main cost is embedded in the spread, which is generally quite tight and competitive by industry standards. I consider this important from a trading cost perspective because, by not adding extra commissions per lot, GMO CLICK keeps the fee structure relatively transparent and predictable, especially for active traders who want to keep transaction costs low. However, it's critical to understand that while there are zero commissions for most FX and CFD trades, there may still be fees for certain actions, such as foreign currency withdrawals or less typical instruments, as outlined in their fee schedule. For me, the clarity and low trading costs are definite advantages, but I always make it a point to verify the fee structure for the specific products I intend to trade, especially since fee models can evolve and may not fully align with what some might expect from a broker advertising "ECN" features.
