Thread: Chinese Brokers higher spreads?

  1. #1
    Do Brokers charge spreads if a trading account is opened from China instead then a non-Asian country?

    I have been led to think the Chinese market operates in an IB version rather then marketing directly to retail. I wondered exactly how the can do so with such low spreads of 1 pip sometimes. After some research I have found out that Brokers charge higher spreads should you signup from China by identifying your IP address... Does one know more information about this? Is this true in any way?

    Appears as if you have to be correct, just confirmed this with a friend in China on a FX account... Apparently why I thought they may be doing this really is (as explained above) is to have the ability to give IB's rebates with out affecting their profit and without disadvantaging the IB's.

    I guess spreads stays the exact same either you trading out of China or in any region of the world.
