FxPro Swap & Overnight Fees
A swap (or rollover) is the interest debited or credited when you hold a leveraged position overnight.
Open FxPro Account →This line is counted in nights. It is applied at the daily rollover to whatever is still open when the rollover passes, so a trade opened and closed inside the session never meets it. It is quoted per instrument and per direction — one side of a symbol can be credited while the other is charged — and one weekday carries three nights so the weekend is covered; at FxPro that day is Wednesday. Read the figure for your symbol and your side in your platform, or hold a swap-free (Islamic) account if you are eligible.

What you are debited (−) or credited (+) per standard lot held past the daily rollover, measured on FxPro’s own MT5 Raw+ feed (with the raw points in brackets). A negative number costs you to hold; a positive one pays you. Triple swap is applied on Wednesday night to cover the weekend value date. Carry / yr is the annualised swap yield (swap × 365 ÷ notional at the live price) — a rough guide to what holding the position costs or earns over a year, shown where we have a live price.

Total net cost to hold one standard lot over time — the spread plus accumulated swap. A positive figure is what it costs you; a negative one means you come out ahead (positive carry). For example, holding EUR/USD long for a month costs about $276, while a EUR/USD short earns about $48. Based on measured spreads and current swaps — rates vary.

Avoiding swaps
If you hold positions overnight regularly, a swap-free (Islamic) account may avoid swap interest for eligible clients. Check live swap rates inside your platform before holding overnight.
Open FxPro Account →Nights, direction, and the way out
Because the unit is the night and not the day, a position opened on Friday and closed on Monday has crossed the rollover in between, and a hold through Wednesday collects three nights at once. The two directions are separate figures rather than mirror images: a change can move one of them and leave the other where it was.
A swap-free (Islamic) account removes the line entirely for eligible clients, with an administration fee possible on some instruments after a grace period. If you follow the figure instead, tonight's number prices the nights still ahead of you — the ones already crossed were charged at what applied on each of them.

What traders report
Swing and position traders are the ones who notice FxPro's swaps. Several say overnight charges are lower than on brokers they've used before, and that a swap-free Islamic account avoids swap interest for eligible clients.
FxPro doesn't charge high swap commissions. I've been holding short positions on gbpusd and eurusd since november.
I'm a swing trader, so for me the spreads is just nice and acceptable with 0 commission, they offer Islamic swap free.

Holding a position overnight adds or subtracts the interest rate differential, yet newcomers often assume it is simply an extra broker fee. The official explanation of which disclosures are mandatory and which transactions are permitted is set out in the policies and circulars published by the regulator, and the role of interest rates is explained in an article on the structure of the international currency market.
