FX Trading
What is the swap that I have to pay (or that I receive) if I hold a position overnight?
By convention the foreign exchange markets adjust the value of an open position to reflect the different interest rates applicable to the underlying currencies.
If you have an open position at the end of day during which you have taken the long/bought side in the high yielding currency, then the value of the swap fee is typically in your favour to reflect the difference between the interest rates on the two currencies.
If you have an open position at the end of a day during which you have taken the long/bought position in the low yielding currency, then the value of the swap fee is typically against you. In certain market conditions, Febroker may require Clients to pay a Swap Fee where ordinarily they would have received a Swap Fee. Febroker applies swaps daily at midnight AEST MT4 Server time Triple daily swaps are applied on Wednesday (midnight AEST) for the applicable currency pairs. Swaps for CFDs on spot indices, commodities, stocks, and crypto-currencies are applied on Fridays. Swap Fees are applied in the base currency of your account. The Swap Fee accrues whilst the position remains open and is credited or debited to your account when the trade is closed.
How do I find out the swap rate?
Swap rates can be found on the Febroker MT4 trading platform. To see the swap charges for a currency position:
Right click on an instrument in the ‘Market Watch’ panel of MT4 (left hand side).

What time does your rollover occur?
Dates of rollovers are available in the rollover table
At rollover day we switch off trading for 30 minutes before midnight (from 23:30 until 24:00)
We calculate base value (difference between one of the following futures contracts and currently expiring futures contract).
When the base value is positive we deduct this value for long orders and add this value to short orders (reverse for negative base value). Both financial operations are calculated in swap field for all CFDs being rolled and held overnight.
When the market reopens, the base value is typically offset by a change in the unrealised profit or loss (e.g. positive base value added to swap field is offset by negative change in profit or loss).
