Sagot

As an experienced trader, I’ve learned that overnight financing charges—also known as swap fees—are a key cost consideration, especially for those who hold positions longer than a single trading day. While SAMCO outlines details regarding their commission structure and margin requirements, I could not find clear, published information on specific overnight financing or swap fees in their available materials. This omission concerns me, as swap fees can significantly impact the profitability of longer-term strategies. From my years trading with multiple brokers, I know that regulated brokers and those serving global forex markets typically disclose their swap rates and sometimes even offer swap-free accounts for compliance with various client needs. The fact that SAMCO lacks both overt regulatory oversight and transparent communication about swaps represents, in my view, a heightened operational and financial risk. For me, the inability to compare SAMCO’s charges to other brokers like Plus500, VT Markets, or MiTRADE—who clearly publicize their swap structures—makes it impossible to adequately estimate trading costs or assess cost competitiveness. Given the overall lack of regulation and potential for non-disclosure of important fees, I proceed with extreme caution whenever considering SAMCO for any trades that might incur overnight costs. I strongly recommend that traders specifically inquire about swap rates directly before opening an account to avoid unexpected expenses, as cost clarity is essential for responsible risk management.
