After reviewing Linear as a potential trading partner, I must admit that assessing their swap fees or overnight financing charges proved unusually challenging. From my perspective as a trader who always checks these costs closely—they have a direct impact on long-term profitability—I was frustrated by Linear’s lack of transparent, published details regarding their swap rates. Unlike some brokers who make such charges easy to research, I found no concrete fee schedule on their official site or in public documentation linked to their STP offering. In my experience, reputable brokers provide either a detailed swap rate table or a transparent calculator so traders can estimate their overnight costs easily. The absence of such information from Linear is a significant concern for me, especially given the high potential risk and certain red flags reported, like their “Danger” label on regulatory listings and issues with UK office verification. I’m aware that Linear holds an FCA license, which should signal compliance, and normally I would expect fair, market-aligned financing charges under such regulation. But, in practice, the lack of clarity makes it difficult for me to compare Linear’s fees to other brokers like XM, AvaTrade, and Exness—all of whom, in my experience, offer more accessible data and typically competitive rates. Given these uncertainties, my approach would be one of caution. Until Linear offers more transparency regarding their swap and overnight policies, I personally would not risk holding trades overnight with them. For a trader with a style similar to mine, clear and upfront cost disclosure is non-negotiable when choosing a broker.
