What You Should Know About Swap Rates

• Swaps are only applied when a trade is kept open overnight through to the beginning of the next trading day
• Certain symbols can have negative swap rates for both buy (long) and sell (short) positions
• Swap rates are either calculated in points or in percentage terms, and our trading platforms automatically convert them into the account base currency
• Swap rates can differ between symbols and the rates shown are per standard lot
• Most of our symbols have triple swap charges on Fridays, while forex pairs and metals have triple swaps on Wednesdays.
