Is Transparency Really Important in Trading?

I've been thinking a lot about transparency lately, especially when it comes to trading platforms and the advice we often get from influencers. It seems like there's a balance between showing everything (like fees or trade execution details) and keeping some things under wraps for competitive reasons.

I’ve had a couple of experiences where I felt misled because I didn’t have all the info upfront. It's frustrating when you're trying to make informed decisions!

How do you all feel about transparency in your trades and the platforms you use? Do you think it impacts your trading success? Would love to hear your thoughts and any experiences you’ve had, good or bad!
