From my own experience as a trader who takes regulation and due diligence extremely seriously, I approached Linear with caution. First, I noted that Linear holds an institutional forex license (STP), regulated under the FCA in the United Kingdom. Typically, such licensing from a reputable regulator is a baseline signal of legitimacy. However, what stood out to me during my research were several important red flags and nuances that affected my level of trust. Linear is marked as having a “suspicious scope of business” and “high potential risk,” which are not statements I can take lightly, especially where my capital is concerned. Most concerning for me was the documented finding that a physical visit to their UK office resulted in no actual office presence—something that raises a genuine operational transparency issue. In addition, although Linear has been active for over a decade, which generally supports some level of credibility, there is an official FCA disclosure from 2018, indicating regulatory decisions involving the company. The risk management index is also scored at 0.00, which, in my judgment, signals insufficient or unclear measures to safeguard client funds. For context, compared to other brokers I might consider, Linear’s score and highlighted risks make me wary of treating it as my primary brokerage. In summary, while Linear appears regulated on paper, the high-risk warnings, operational ambiguities, and past regulatory issues all prompt me to approach it very cautiously and to always consider safer, more transparently operated alternatives.
