Based on my personal review of Linear, I want to point out that the broker is regulated by the FCA in the United Kingdom and reportedly operates under an STP (Straight Through Processing) license. In my experience, brokers that offer ECN or raw spread accounts generally compensate by charging commissions per lot, as it allows them to provide tighter spreads. However, in reviewing all available information on Linear, I find that the WikiFX context does not directly specify whether Linear charges a commission per lot on their ECN or raw spread accounts. As a cautious trader who carefully assesses such details—especially when regulation and risk factors are important—I am reluctant to draw conclusions without explicit confirmation. The absence of clear commission structure specifics raises a flag for me. Furthermore, the broker is marked with “High potential risk” and “Suspicious Scope of Business” designations, and there are notes regarding a previous FCA decision notice. For me, this underlines the importance of full fee transparency. Without unambiguous details from Linear regarding commissions, I would strongly advise anyone to make direct inquiries with the broker before opening an account. Personal due diligence on costs is essential to safeguard one’s trading capital and avoid unexpected fees. For my own trading, the lack of this critical information would make me proceed only with heightened caution.
