As an experienced forex trader, I know that transparency in swap fees—or overnight financing costs—is essential for managing trading costs and evaluating a broker's suitability. When I evaluated SSI, I was disappointed to find there is a lack of specific information regarding their swap fees or even basic details about their trading account types and fee structure. Unlike many regulated competitors who publish a clear breakdown of overnight rates and funding costs, SSI does not provide such information publicly, making it difficult for me to make an accurate, apples-to-apples comparison. This lack of clarity is more concerning given SSI's unregulated status. In my experience, not being regulated adds an extra layer of risk, especially when fee transparency is also absent. For me, this presents a significant red flag—when I weigh brokers, I expect to see competitive, well-disclosed swap rates. Most regulated brokers post daily swap values or provide calculators to estimate the impact of holding positions overnight, helping me plan my trades and avoid surprises. In short, I cannot offer a positive comparison of SSI’s swap fees against other brokers because the necessary information just isn’t available. As always, I urge fellow traders to choose brokers that combine strong regulatory oversight with clear and accessible information about trading costs, including swaps, so you know exactly what to expect before you commit your capital.
