A swap, also known as an overnight financing fee, is applied to any leveraged position that is still open when the trading day rolls over. It reflects the interest rate differential between the two currencies (or the financing cost of the underlying asset) and can be a charge or a credit depending on whether you hold a long or short position. Pairmetric publishes indicative swap rates for its key traded instruments, with exact, up-to-date figures always available in the contract specification of each symbol in your MetaTrader 5 terminal.
Swap rates are set by market interest rates and can change without notice, so the values shown on this page are for planning purposes rather than a fixed guarantee. Traders who want to avoid overnight financing charges entirely, for example in line with Islamic finance principles, can open a Pairmetric Islamic Account, which carries no overnight swap fee while keeping the same spread-only pricing and market access as Pairmetric's other account types.
Swap Rates
A swap is the overnight financing charge or credit applied to any leveraged position still open at the end of the trading day. It depends on whether you are long or short, and it does not apply at all on a Pairmetric Islamic Account.

About Pairmetric's Swap Rates
Swap Rates FAQs
A swap rate is the interest charged or credited for holding a leveraged position open overnight, past the platform's daily rollover time. It is separate from the spread and only applies to positions still open at that point.
A swap reflects the interest rate difference between the two currencies in a pair (or the cost of financing the underlying asset). Since a long position and a short position sit on opposite sides of that difference, one side is typically charged while the other may be credited.
Yes, in general - any position still open at the platform's daily rollover time is subject to a swap charge or credit. Many brokers, including Pairmetric, also apply a triple swap on one day of the week to account for weekend settlement; check the contract specification in your MetaTrader 5 terminal for the exact day and rate for each instrument.
The figures shown here are indicative and used for planning your trading costs. Swap rates are influenced by market interest rates and can change, so always check the live contract specification for a symbol in your MetaTrader 5 terminal before opening a position you plan to hold overnight.
Open a Pairmetric Islamic Account. It carries no overnight swap fee on open positions, in line with Islamic finance principles, while keeping the same spread-only pricing and market access as Pairmetric's other account types.
