Swap Charges Apply to Overnight Holding

While you are allowed to hold positions overnight, these trades will accumulate swap charges, which

  • are calculated based on the instrument type

  • are visible directly in MT5, (Right-click on a pair > Select “Specification”)

  • do count toward your daily loss calculation

Triple Swap Days:

  • Forex & Commodities: 3x swaps on Wednesday

  • Indices & Crypto: 3x swaps on Friday

Example:

If you hold a gold (XAUUSD) position through Wednesday night, you'll be charged three days’ worth of swaps. This affects your floating P&L and can trigger risk-related breaches if not monitored.

Note: The Swap will not apply to the Swap-Free Account.
