As a trader who puts a premium on transparency and cost control, I always examine overnight financing costs before opening an account. In my research of OSL, I found a major issue: the broker does not offer forex, commodities, or other instruments that typically incur overnight financing charges (sometimes called swap or rollover fees). OSL is focused narrowly on equity brokerage and related services, and there is no publicly available information on how—or if—they apply overnight financing on equity trading. Moreover, OSL lacks any recognized regulation, which for me raises serious flags about the consistency and fairness of any fee structure they may have, including overnight charges. When I compare this to other well-known, regulated brokers, the difference is striking. Most reputable brokers are fully transparent: they publish precise overnight financing rates, often updated daily, and provide detailed historical data for review. I can always factor these costs into my trading strategies in advance. But with OSL, the absence of regulation and the lack of disclosure means I simply cannot make an informed cost comparison. For a trader like myself, this lack of clarity and oversight is a significant deterrent. I strongly advise anyone considering OSL to proceed with heightened caution, especially if overnight financing or holding positions for multiple days is part of their trading plan.
