What is Swap?
Swap (Overnight Interest) is the cost or earning incurred when a trader holds a position overnight. It reflects the profit or cost resulting from interest rate differentials between currency pairs or financial products. The system automatically adds or deducts the corresponding swap from your account.
Factors Affecting Swaps
• Interest rates of different countries/regions
• Market supply and demand for the pair/product
• Adjustments or fees set by the broker
By understanding the swap mechanism, you can better assess trading costs and potential returns, planning your holding strategy more effectively.
⚠️ For traders who cannot pay or receive swaps due to religious beliefs, ARFX also offers swap-free accounts.
