As an independent forex trader, I prioritize brokers with transparent fee structures, particularly when it comes to less visible costs like inactivity fees. In my detailed examination of Carlyle, I found a lack of any clear or published information regarding trading conditions, including account types, trading platforms, spreads, or fees—let alone specifics about inactivity charges. For me, this is concerning because brokers that serve individual traders typically outline these common potential costs, either on their website or in their client agreement documents. From what I can see, Carlyle does not appear to position itself as a provider of retail brokerage services for forex or CFD trading. Instead, it's an institutional asset management firm focused on private equity and credit, with no regulated status for retail brokerage. This means that for someone like me, looking for a conventional trading account structure, there simply isn't a fee table—or a mechanism—through which inactivity fees would likely apply, since they do not seem to offer trading accounts to individual traders at all. Ultimately, because Carlyle is not a regulated retail broker and provides no details about personal trading services or related fees, I must be extremely cautious. In practice, if a broker is this opaque or not designed for retail trading, I consider it a red flag for anyone seeking ordinary forex trading services, and I would advise confirming all fee-related details directly before engaging in any capacity.
