After carefully researching CHIEF as a seasoned trader, I have to admit that assessing their overnight financing charges, or swap fees, is challenging due to the lack of direct information available in their public disclosures. Unlike most international forex brokers, CHIEF primarily focuses on securities and futures trading, rather than spot forex products where swap fees are typically a key point of comparison. Throughout my review, I couldn't find any transparent listing of swap rates or specific overnight financing structures on their website or in their fee documentation. From my experience, this absence is noteworthy. Most reputable brokers are up-front about swap rates and outline their calculation methods, which helps traders make informed decisions about the real costs of holding positions overnight. The lack of clarity here suggests that either such fees aren't a major feature due to the instrument types CHIEF offers, or that their fee structure is embedded differently – for example, within futures contract rollovers. Comparatively, other brokers that openly provide swap rate tables demonstrate more transparency, which I consider essential for responsible capital management, particularly for those employing swing or long-term strategies. For me, clear information on every cost, especially overnight charges, is a baseline for trust. Since CHIEF doesn’t trade mainstream forex or provide this data, I advise anyone considering them to directly inquire about all relevant costs—and if overnight exposure is central to your trading, it may be prudent to look for more transparent alternatives.
