When Swap charge will happen?

Swap charges occur at 00:00 in server time, but not so precisely.

The process itself may take a few minutes, so you may want to see give it a bit time for swap charge or credit.

As swap charge/credit only occurs as 00:00 in server time, you will not get charged during days even you hold a positions opened 23 hours.

Index/Stock CFDs have Swap Charges?

Swap is caused by the difference of interest rates of each currency.

So basically minor currencies normally have high interest rate, and Forex Pairs with these minor currencies will have higher swap charges or credits for investors.

In case of Index and Stock CFDs, interest rate is not related to the tradings, but dividend payment is.

So generally speaking, you will be able to earn the dividend if you hold a long open position of Index or Stock CFDs, and get charged if you hold a short open position of them.

Dividend payment is in another word, bonus payment for share holders.

But still the process will be done as swap charges for these financial instruments in MT4.

Please note that Yadix does not offer any Stock CFDs(Shares) but Index CFDs.
