What is the Swap Rate
A swap rate or ‘rollover fee’ is an interest fee that is charged when you keep a position open overnight. Each currency pair has its own swap rate calculated based on one standard lot (100,000 base units) and is determined by interbank rates.
Check the rates listed on the MT4 trading platform for the latest swap rates.
Please note that when trading spot forex, swap rates are determined two days in advance. For example, if trades are opened on Thursday, the swap begins on Monday. For trades on Friday, the swap begins on Tuesday.
Additionally, kindly note that swap rates are tripled on Wednesdays to account for the weekend (except for NATGAS, which is tripled on Friday).
