In my experience as a forex trader, I approach brokers like Linear with a high level of caution. While Linear has been operating for 10-15 years and is formally regulated in the United Kingdom under the FCA (with license details publicly available), several points raise immediate red flags for me. Notably, WikiFX highlights “high potential risk” and specifically warns about a suspicious scope of business. For me, this signals that their operations may not be entirely transparent or fully aligned with best industry practices. Additionally, the risk management index for Linear is listed at 0.00. From a practical standpoint, this implies a possible lack of adequate processes or controls in place to safeguard client funds or mitigate trading risks, which is a significant point of concern for anyone considering entrusting a broker with their capital. Even more worrying, a previous field survey reportedly found no physical office at their listed UK address, which is something I see as a major trust issue. The fact that the FCA published a decision notice concerning Linear Investments Limited in 2018 further compels me to question their operational reliability. As someone who’s seen how crucial strong corporate governance and solid regulatory standing are to financial safety, such disclosures convince me to exercise heightened vigilance. While Linear may hold a legitimate license, these combined compliance and transparency issues are enough for me to personally avoid them in favor of brokers with clearer, more robust track records and fewer ambiguities regarding their business practices and client protections.
