Speaking from my experience as a forex trader, evaluating swap fees is essential, but with Pocket Trade, I faced bigger concerns before I could even seriously compare their overnight financing rates. Pocket Trade currently holds no valid regulatory license according to the research I conducted, and it carries several risk warnings, including a suspicious regulatory license and a high potential risk flag. For me, these are serious red flags, as a lack of trustworthy regulation undermines transparency in how fees, including swaps, are calculated and could be changed without proper oversight. While other brokers I’ve used, such as those regulated in Australia, disclose their swap rates clearly and have established channels for dispute resolution, Pocket Trade’s regulatory standing makes it difficult for me to trust any fee structure they promote. In my view, without verifiable regulation and with such a low safety score, comparing their swap fees to major, well-regulated brokers is almost beside the point. I always prioritize the protection of my funds and clear disclosure of trading costs, so for now, Pocket Trade simply doesn’t meet the minimum threshold I require—even before examining something as specific as swap fees.
