In my experience as a forex trader, evaluating swap fees—those overnight financing charges on open positions—can significantly affect overall trading profitability, especially for those holding trades longer than a day. With Hirose Financial, I've taken a close look at their swap fee structure, and I appreciate their transparency: for the majors I typically trade, such as EURUSD, GBPUSD, and USDCAD, WikiFX data indicates their overnight swaps are essentially zero (0.00 USD/lot for both long and short). This is relatively rare in the industry, as most brokers either charge or credit a fee based on market rates and account types. However, the absence of meaningful overnight charges here isn't necessarily a universal positive; it might reflect the broker's risk management approach, or perhaps special account configurations, rather than a permanent, zero-swap policy for all scenarios. I always advise fellow traders to confirm swap rates directly on the trading platform or, better yet, with customer support, as swap conditions can change or depend on specific instruments and market conditions. Against other regulated brokers I’ve used, Hirose’s zero swap fees for these core pairs are more favorable than the small daily debits or credits typical elsewhere. This setup suits my short- and medium-term strategies, minimizing surprise costs. But for pairs or instruments outside the majors—or for exotic or less liquid assets—swap fees can sometimes be less competitive across various brokers, so I stay vigilant and always check before trading. Ultimately, Hirose’s approach to swap fees is relatively advantageous for the mainstream currencies I trade most often. I just ensure I don’t assume these rates are guaranteed or universal across their full product set.
