As an experienced trader, I approach every broker by carefully examining their fees, transparency, and whether they clearly disclose all trading costs. In the case of BLUEMOUNT, I've found that while their fee structure for commissions and transaction-related fees is relatively transparent—explicitly detailing their commission at 0.25% with a minimum of HK$100—there’s a lack of readily available information about swap fees or overnight financing costs. This stands out to me, as overnight fees are a significant component for anyone who holds positions past market close. It's important to note that BLUEMOUNT offers access only to shares and securities; there’s no provision for forex or other leveraged instrument trading, where swap rates are typically most relevant. For equity positions, overnight financing can still apply especially with margin trading, but I wasn't able to locate detailed specifics regarding those charges on their site or in the summary provided. The absence of this information means I cannot directly compare BLUEMOUNT’s overnight fees with those of other brokers who usually publish this data more transparently. For me, transparency around all trading costs, especially hidden or ongoing charges like swap fees, is critical. When a broker omits such crucial details, I become more cautious, particularly given that BLUEMOUNT currently operates with an "exceeded" license, meaning their activities aren’t under active regulatory oversight. In summary, without clear disclosure, I’m not able to confidently compare BLUEMOUNT’s swap fees to industry peers and advise any trader to thoroughly inquire directly before opening or maintaining positions overnight.
