A swap, also called a rollover, is the interest charged or credited to your account when you hold a position open past the daily rollover time. It reflects the interest rate differential between the two currencies in a pair and can be positive or negative depending on trade direction.
Swaps are typically three times the normal rate on Wednesdays to account for the weekend settlement period. Since markets are closed on Saturday and Sunday but rollover still applies, Monday's and Tuesday's swaps are bundled into the Wednesday charge to keep settlement aligned.
Swap rates are based on the interbank lending rates for the two currencies in a pair, adjusted for broker costs. They are applied per lot, per night, and differ between buy and sell positions — the calculator shows you both so you can factor them into your trade plan.
Yes — if the currency you are buying carries a higher interest rate than the one you are selling, you may receive a swap credit rather than paying a charge. Traders who actively seek positive swap rates use a strategy known as carry trading.
Swap rates only apply to positions held open past the daily rollover time, typically 00:00 server time. Trades opened and closed within the same trading session incur no swap charges, so swap is primarily a consideration for positions held overnight or across multiple days.
