In Forex, a swap is the overnight financing charge (or credit) applied when you keep a position open past the broker’s daily rollover time. On LMFX, swaps are applied to positions that are open over the rollover cut-off, and the swap value is posted directly to your trading account as either a debit or a credit.
Swap is not a “fee that always costs money.” It depends on the instrument and the direction of your trade:
- Swap Long applies when you hold a buy position overnight.
- Swap Short applies when you hold a sell position overnight.
If the swap value is negative, it is a cost. If it is positive, it is a credit.
LMFX publishes swap values per symbol as Swap Short (points) and Swap Long (points), and for Forex it states that swap is factored as points per lot.
How LMFX Applies Swap on Open Trades
LMFX defines swap as the cost of holding a position overnight and explains that it is linked to the interest-rate difference between the two currencies in the pair (or the financing cost of the CFD).
Rollover time used by LMFX
LMFX states that swaps are applied to positions opened prior to 21:00 GMT and held over that time, and that positions opened and closed before that time do not incur swap.
Triple swap logic for Forex on LMFX
For Forex instruments, LMFX states that a triple swap is applied on positions held over Wednesday.
That single rule changes how you plan hold-times for carry-style strategies and for EAs that keep trades open for multiple days. A position held through Wednesday rollover will typically receive or pay three days of swap at once, posted as a single adjustment.
What “Swap Points per Lot” Means on LMFX
LMFX lists Forex swaps as points/lot.
In practical terms:
- The posted swap values are tied to the symbol’s point size and the contract size used on MT4.
- The final money impact depends on:
- your lot size
- the symbol’s point value
- the swap rate shown for that symbol and direction
The simplest way to think about it is:
- Bigger lot size = bigger swap charge/credit
- More nights held = more swap charge/credit
- Triple swap night = larger single posting

How to Interpret These Swap Rates Like a Trader
Most pairs show swap as a cost on both sides or on one side
Looking down the table, you can see three common patterns:
One side is zero, the other is negative
Examples: AUDCAD, USDJPY, USDCHF.
This means one direction is “less costly” for holding overnight, but not necessarily profitable.
Both sides are negative
Examples: GBPUSD, NZDUSD, USDNOK.
This means holding either long or short overnight creates a financing cost.
One side is zero and the other is heavily negative for some exotics
Examples: USDCNH, USDHKD, EURHUF.
This is typical where funding costs, liquidity, and hedging expenses are larger.
Swap is not the same thing as spread or commission
Swap is a holding cost, not an entry cost. Your total trading cost for a trade can include:
- spread
- commission (if you trade an account type that charges it)
- swap (only if held past rollover)
So an EA that scalps and closes trades before rollover can avoid swap entirely, while a swing-trading EA can accumulate swap costs quickly.
How Swap Affects Common Forex Styles on LMFX
Intraday strategies
If your trading plan closes positions before the rollover cut-off, swap does not apply to those trades. LMFX states trades opened and closed before the rollover time do not pay or receive swap.
This is why many intraday EAs are designed to exit before rollover: it reduces costs and avoids the liquidity shift that often occurs around daily rollover.
Swing trading and multi-day holds
For positions held multiple nights, swap becomes a predictable part of the trade plan. If your edge expects a trade to run for several days, you need swap to be in the math from the start.
Also, because LMFX applies triple swap on Wednesday for Forex, the holding cost (or credit) is not “smooth.” It arrives in larger chunks at that rollover.
Carry-style positioning
Carry-style positioning looks for situations where the overnight financing is favorable in one direction. On LMFX’s Forex table, true positive swap values are not common, and many pairs show zero on one side and negative on the other.
If your strategy is designed to hold for long periods, it is usually more realistic to aim for “lower swap drag” rather than expecting swap credits to be a main source of profit.
How to See Swap Rates Inside LMFX MT4
Even if you already have the website table, the most practical workflow is to read swap values directly from MT4 symbol specifications, because that is what the platform uses for postings.
In MT4:
- Open Market Watch
- Right-click the symbol
- Open the symbol’s Specification/Properties
- Locate Swap Long and Swap Short
This is also how many traders confirm that the swap values for a symbol match what the platform is applying to their live positions.

Practical Takeaways for Managing Swap on LMFX
Plan swap into your trade duration
If you typically hold Forex trades overnight, swap is part of your expected cost, like spread. The longer your average holding period, the more swap matters.
Watch the triple swap day
On LMFX Forex pairs, triple swap is applied on Wednesday rollover.
That can create a larger-than-normal balance adjustment and can affect margin if you are running large exposure.
Use swap to avoid hidden drag in EA systems
If you run EAs that keep positions open for days, swap can change the performance profile even when your entry and exit logic is stable. Two EAs with the same win rate can have very different net outcomes depending on swap and holding time.
Remember swap is posted per position
Swap is applied per open position, not per symbol. If you run multiple trades across the same pair, each position accumulates swap individually.
LMFX publishes Swap Short (points) and Swap Long (points) per Forex pair, and those values represent the current overnight financing applied to open positions held through rollover.
For Forex on LMFX:
- swap is factored as points per lot
- swaps apply when positions are held over the rollover cut-off
- triple swap is applied on Wednesday rollover for Forex
