As an independent forex trader, assessing overnight financing charges (commonly known as swap fees) is a regular part of my broker evaluation process. With Johnan Shinkin, I found it challenging to make a direct comparison to other established brokers because there is no transparent disclosure or specific information about their swap rates or overnight financing fees. Unlike many well-known forex brokers that provide a clear schedule of swap fees tied to open positions held overnight, Johnan Shinkin’s documentation focuses more on general banking services, with emphasis on ATM, transfer, and foreign exchange fees, but it lacks any detailed breakdown for trading-specific charges. This lack of transparency is a significant concern for me. In my experience, understanding the overnight costs is essential; these fees can materially affect trading profitability, especially for strategies that hold positions for multiple days. Reputable and well-regulated brokers typically publish updated swap rates on their platforms or websites, enabling traders to make informed decisions. Given that Johnan Shinkin operates without specific regulatory oversight and does not provide public information about swap fees, I have to be extremely cautious. For me, the absence of regulatory protection and fee transparency means it is not possible to reliably compare their overnight charges to other brokers, and I would not make assumptions about their competitiveness. Without full disclosure, it’s difficult for me to trust that traders’ costs would be fair or predictable. I suggest anyone considering this broker weigh these trust and risk factors very carefully.
