Which day does your broker charge triple swap?
Because the market settles two days ahead, positions held over Wednesday night typically attract three days of swap to cover the weekend — but brokers differ, and Islamic and swap-free accounts have their own structures.
Check your broker and post:
- the day triple swap is charged on your account
- how much it added to your last held position
- whether you plan holds around it
The trading costs guide explains the value-date logic behind it.
Background: The real cost of a forex trade: spread, commission and swap
Every trade has costs, and they are easy to underestimate. Here is how to add up the spread, commission and overnight swap on a position.
What is a spread in forex?
The difference between the bid (sell) and ask (buy) price. You pay it every time you open a trade, and it widens when the market is less liquid.
Is a raw spread account cheaper?
Not automatically. Add the spread and the round-trip commission together and compare the total with a spread-only account's typical spread on the pairs you trade.
