Swap is the difference in the benchmark interest rate that applies in each country whose currency is traded on the forex market. Swap is only accepted by traders from overnight positions past midnight (broker server time) and will be determined based on whether the position opened by the trader includes long positions (buy a pair) or short positions (sell a pair). In any pair, the trader must pay interest on the currency sold, and at the same time will receive interest from the currency purchased.
sometimes also for swap there is a plus and we get profit. can you explain it?

for traders this swap is sometimes profitable sometimes it is also harmful, I myself don't pay much attention to this swap even my trading account uses free swap.

but now the swap is no longer an interesting thing, because now many brokers provide swap-free.

free swap with an Islamic account, if not mistaken because the Islamic religious law prohibits usury systems such as swaps.

brokers also pay attention to religion and they provide policies by creating special accounts.

for now it's not just special accounts that have free swaps, almost all accounts can already apply for free swaps

A swap free account or commonly called an Islamic account is generally the type of account provided specifically by brokers for Islamic traders. This is because Islamic law prohibits flowering business transactions; Swap is considered the same as usury because it is taken from the interest difference. Therefore, not a few Muslim traders prefer this type of account.

I just don't like the swap and I tend to use a free swap account.

even though there are traders who use swaps even forbidden trading techniques such as ballance or arbitration trading are very tempting I actually don't like using swaps in transactions.

swap is the choice of the pack, use swap or not it depends on each trader.

if you do not want to use swaps can be removed in the settings or using an Islamic account.

SWAP features are beneficial for brokers, but also sometimes traders also want to use them through trading styles that tend to be banned by brokers.

SWAP is the interest of staying, if you don't want to get a negative swap then don't have a floating position more than a day.

SWAP is a choice for traders while for non-Islamic SWAP brokers there is a thing that must be there.
