Trading
Understanding and managing the factors for effective risk management and maximizing trading profits.
Swaps and spreads are vital in Forex trading. Swaps, or rollover interest rates, affect the cost or gain of holding positions overnight, influencing trading decisions. Spreads represent the price difference between buying and selling currency pairs, impacting transaction costs and liquidity.
Understanding both is essential for optimizing profitability and managing costs in the dynamic Forex market. Balancing swaps and spreads is key to developing effective trading strategies. Would you like to explore specific strategies related to these concepts?
What Is a Swap in Forex?
A ‘Swap’ in Forex, also known as ‘rollover’ or ‘overnight interest,’ is the interest rate differential that you either earn or pay when holding a trade position open overnight. It reflects the cost or gain associated with the time value of money in the foreign exchange market.
