Swap in Trading
A swap, in trading, is a fee charged for keeping a position open overnight. It is either credited to the trading account or debited from it.
The swap rates are measured in pips or percentages.
• Swap Calculation Formula in Pips
Number of Lots * Swap * Pip Value (Last Decimal of Price Quote) = Charged Swap
• Swap Calculation Formula in Percentage
Number of Lots * Swap / 100 / 360 * Position Value = Charged Swap
