From my own experience evaluating brokers, overnight financing charges or swap fees are a critical factor in long-term trading strategies, especially when holding positions overnight. For E-Global, the data reveals an uneven and somewhat concerning landscape. The reported swap rates—ranging from a long position at roughly -11.97 USD per lot and, at worst, a striking -400.16 USD per lot—seem highly inconsistent. In my judgment, this kind of variability is well outside the industry norm. Most reputable, regulated brokers provide clear and relatively stable swap charges, and even at their highest, it’s rare to encounter such steep negative rates. This bears reiteration because unusually high or unpredictable swap fees can quickly erode trading profits or even result in unexpected losses. Personally, I’m always suspicious of a broker that lacks transparency about core trading costs. In E-Global’s case, not only are there reports of excessive swap fees, but there’s also a general lack of reliable, up-to-date information about many of their fee structures. Coupled with the broker's suspicious regulatory status—which puts client protections in question—I find it difficult to compare them favorably to other well-established brokers where fee structures and overnight charges are both clear and competitive. For me, the lack of transparency and the presence of abnormally high swap fees are major red flags. When considering a broker, I believe it’s essential to ensure both the predictability of costs and proper regulatory oversight. E-Global currently falls short in both respects, and from a risk-management viewpoint, this isn’t a firm I would trust with overnight positions.
