FxPro Swap & Overnight Fees [Malaysia]
A swap (or rollover) is the interest debited or credited when you hold a leveraged position overnight.
Open FxPro Account →Two clocks decide what an overnight position costs at FxPro, and only one of them is in the economic calendar. A swap (or rollover) is the interest you pay or receive for holding a leveraged position overnight: you are charged only when a position stays open past the daily rollover, the rate depends on the instrument and on whether you are long or short, and Wednesday nights are charged triple swap to cover the weekend. None of that changes because a data release printed that afternoon. The swap is published per instrument in your platform and can be read before you take the trade, while the spread you will pay to open or close around a print cannot. Eligible clients can use a swap-free (Islamic) account, which holds no swap at all. Check the exact long and short swap per instrument before holding overnight, and check the release schedule for the same sessions separately.

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.

What it really costs to hold a position (measured)
| Instrument | Long 1d | Long 1w | Long 1mo | Short 1d | Short 1w | Short 1mo |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| EUR/USD | $17.90 | $71.30 | $276.00 | $7.10 | −$4.30 | −$48.00 |
| GBP/USD | $16.10 | $34.70 | $106.00 | $17.20 | $42.40 | $139.00 |
| AUD/USD | $12.95 | $24.65 | $69.50 | $13.90 | $31.30 | $98.00 |
| USD/CAD | $8.25 | −$1.47 | −$38.73 | $15.69 | $50.61 | $184.47 |
| USD/JPY | $4.48 | −$22.28 | −$124.86 | $27.00 | $135.36 | $550.74 |
| XAU/USD (Gold) | $89.90 | $497.30 | $2,059.00 | −$5.00 | −$167.00 | −$788.00 |
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

Open FxPro Account →Two scheduled events in the same session
A trading day has two kinds of appointment. The daily rollover happens at the same server time every session and decides whether a swap is charged at all. A data release happens at a time fixed weeks in advance by the body that publishes it, and decides how wide the spread is for a few minutes. They are independent: a position can pay swap on a night with nothing scheduled, and a position opened and closed inside a release window pays none.
Keeping them apart makes the estimate simple. The nights come from the instrument specification, the release windows come from the calendar, and neither number belongs in the other column.
Why the swap line is the predictable half
Almost everything about a release is unknown until it prints: the number itself, the reaction, and the spread you will be quoted while it is happening. The swap is the opposite kind of cost. It is published per instrument and per direction in the platform, it applies at a fixed time, and it is the same figure whether the session was quiet or busy. That is the whole reason it belongs in a plan while a release-minute spread does not.
It also means the two are not really comparable in one sentence. One is a rate you accept when you choose the instrument and the direction; the other is a price you accept at the second you press the button.
Reading the schedule for a position you intend to hold
A position open for several sessions will meet the calendar whether you planned for it or not. The useful check before taking it is not what the swap will be, because the platform already tells you that, but which scheduled prints fall inside the holding period and whether you intend to be in the market when they land. Some traders flatten ahead of the top-tier entries and re-enter once quotes settle; others accept the wider quote and keep the position. That is a decision about the trade, not about the swap.
Either way the swap keeps accruing on the nights the position is open, at the rate for that instrument and direction, with Wednesday night charged triple. The calendar changes when you would rather be flat; it does not change the bill for the nights you stay.
Which clock charges what
| Event | When it happens | What it decides |
|---|---|---|
| Daily rollover | The same server time every session | Whether an overnight swap is charged at all |
| Triple-swap night | Wednesday | Three nights of swap in one charge, covering the weekend value date |
| Scheduled data release | A time fixed in advance by whoever publishes the figure | How wide the spread is for a few minutes around the print |
| Position closed intraday | Whenever you exit, before the rollover | No swap at all: spread and commission only |
Only the third row is unknown in size before it happens, and it is the only one that is not a swap.

What traders report
Swap-free (Islamic) accounts are what readers in this market ask about most, and one of our two quotes speaks to that directly — a swing trader who says it is what he trades on. The other is the opposite case: he pays the rollover, having held short EUR/USD and GBP/USD since November, and reports the charge stayed modest. Two data points, both from holders, and we are not going to stretch them further.
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.
