FxPro Swap by Timestamp: Counting Rollover Nights in India
A swap (or rollover) is the interest debited or credited when you hold a leveraged position overnight.
Open FxPro Account →On a closed trade the swap is the one cost you can read straight off the report: it sits with the deal as its own figure, negative where holding cost you and positive where it paid. It is charged for every night the position stayed open past the daily rollover, and a Wednesday night counts three times because the weekend value date rolls with it — which is why the number of nights you remember and the number the report charged for rarely agree at first sight. The rate behind the figure depends on the instrument and on whether you were long or short, and the measured table below shows what a standard lot was debited or credited per night. FxPro states it offers swap-free (Islamic) accounts to eligible clients; administration fees may apply on some instruments after a grace period, so read those terms before expecting an empty swap column. Reconciling a finished position therefore means splitting its net result into the price move, the commission and the accumulated swap, then checking that last part against the nights and the rate.

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.
Swap at a glance
- Charged only on positions held past the daily rollover (around server 00:00)
- Rate depends on the instrument and whether you are long or short
- Triple swap on Wednesday nights (covers the weekend value date)
- FxPro states it offers swap-free (Islamic) accounts to eligible clients, on its own terms
- See the exact long and short swap per instrument inside your platform
Avoiding swaps
If you hold positions overnight regularly, ask FxPro whether a swap-free (Islamic) account is open to you and on what terms: administration fees may apply on some instruments after a grace period. Check live swap rates inside your platform before holding overnight.
Open FxPro Account →Splitting a closed position into price and holding
A closed position arrives as one net figure, and that figure answers the wrong question. It mixes what the market did with what the wait cost, and the two behave nothing alike: the price part is finished business, while the holding part was still growing right up to the close.
Rebuild it in three lines. Net result, plus the commission back, plus the swap back, equals the price result. Only then can the trade be judged — a thin net on a large move means the holding ate it, a decent net on a small move usually means the position was carried cheaply or was paid to be held.
The measured table above is what the second line gets checked against: what one standard lot was debited or credited per night on each instrument, read from the Raw+ feed. The report tells you the amount actually charged; the table tells you the rate it should have followed.
Counting the nights the report charged for
The count of nights is where a reconciliation usually goes wrong, and the fix is mechanical. Take the open timestamp and the close timestamp of the deal, count the daily rollovers that fall between them, then count the Wednesday one three times, because the weekend value date rolls with it.
Two habits make the count come out right. Work in the platform's server time rather than your own, since the rollover is set by the server clock and a deal that looks like it closed the same evening may already have crossed it. And count rollovers, not calendar days: a position opened after one rollover and closed before the next crosses none at all, and a swap figure of zero on it is correct rather than missing.
With the count right, the rest is a multiplication — nights times the per-night figure for that instrument and direction, the Wednesday night counting as three. If that lands on the charged amount, the holding side of the trade is fully explained and everything left over belongs to the price.
The swap column in the period total
Swap is the easiest of the three costs to total, because nothing has to be modelled: it is already money, already signed, already attached to a deal. Add the figures for every deal closed inside your date range and you have the holding cost of the period in one number.
Two things are worth doing to that number before trusting it. Separate the credits from the charges instead of netting them off, because a total that looks mild often contains one large charge and one large credit that will not recur together. And add the swap already accrued on positions still open at the cut-off — it belongs to the period that earned it, even though no deal has closed yet.
Then it joins the other two. The commission total comes straight out of the report; the spread has to be priced from volume, as lots traded times the measured spread cost per lot. Swap, commission and spread added together are what the period really cost, and only one of the three keeps moving after the order is placed.

What traders report
Swaps are the quietest line in FxPro feedback: across everything collected for this site, exactly two reviews speak to them, and both are favourable rather than detailed — a swing trader who mentions a swap-free Islamic account, and a trader who says the overnight commission has not been a problem on positions held since November. Read that as an absence of complaints, not as a price list. The price list is the table.
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.
