Overnight Swaps
What traders need to know about holding positions overnight
Overnight swaps, also known as financing rates, are interest charges or credits applied when a trading position is held open past the daily rollover time. These rates vary depending on the financial instrument and whether the position is long (buy) or short (sell). Swap values are updated daily and reflect changes in the underlying market.
The easiest way to view current swap rates is directly within your MT4/MT5 platform, simply right-click on the instrument and select “Specifications” from the menu.

If you’re unfamiliar with how swaps work, we highly recommend studying this topic carefully before trading on a live account. Proper understanding of overnight costs is vital for managing trading strategies, particularly for positions held over multiple days.
