Overnight Financing

Swaps

    What is a swap in trading?

    A swap (or overnight financing) is an interest amount that is either added to or subtracted from your account whenever a CFD trading position is left open after a certain cut-off time (the “overnight financing time” which is 17:00 New York time).

    The formula used to calculate the daily swap amount of a position is:

    Trade Size * Opening Rate * Daily Swap %

    Key points about swaps:

    • Swaps are only charged if positions are kept open past 17:00 New York time
    • Swaps can be both positive and negative
    • To take account for weekends, triple swaps are charged on Wednesday for FX and metals, and on Friday for oil instruments and indices.
    • The overnight financing time and the daily swap percentage can be found in the “contract specifications” table for each instrument available on the trading platform.
