Swap is the exchange of interest from one currency to another, the difference between the interest of one currency and another in a pair is called a swap rate, there are swap rates that are positive and some are negative, positive interest and negative is determined from the type of transaction carried out (Buy or Sell) and also the interest rates of each currency, so that if there is a change in interest rates from a country then it also results in changes in interest this overnight

This swap is imposed if the OP that we have done lasts overnight, so if the OP has not passed the overnight swap period is not enforced, and for when this overnight time each broker has its own provisions. Positive swaps will benefit us traders who do OP because they get swap interest on the contrary for negative swaps, it is disadvantageous because it gives an additional burden in the form of swap interest. The overnight OP is not swapped to it

I actually pay less attention to swaps when trading because I often use a swap-free account. But in a sense I know that swap is an overnight interest rate where traders often use it for ballance trading or even avoid it.

Swaps can be activated or deactivated in a trading account, it's just that not all brokers have a no swap feature, sometimes there are only trading accounts with swaps, but if we can use the swap it will be very profitable.

swap is only an interest in staying over the pair that we are trading, if I pay less attention to the swap because my trading style tends to be short-term and rarely closes the position for more than 1 day.

Swaps are overnight interest or what is often called overnigt, which is the cost that exists after a currency pair is traded through market changes, swaps can be positive and can also be negative

I pay less attention to swap because I use a no swap account so I don't really pay attention to what swap is and what the advantages and disadvantages are.

In an account provided by the broker, it usually includes several types of accounts so that you can choose an account with a swap or no swap account and both are good according to their respective tastes.

Swap is an overnight interest meaning that if we trade past midnight then we will be subject to swap, there are 2 swaps, namely a negative swap and a positive swap.

We can choose an account that has no swap, because some people think that the swap is not allowed, so it depends on which we choose which one

Swap is the cost of staying when our transaction is not closed within 24 hours or until the next day

In my opinion, swap is available at any broker, because that broker benefits from spreads, commissions and swaps, so we have to get used to it and understand it before using a broker.

Swap it is a natural thing in trading and this is part of the business of the broker, where our transactions that stay will be subject to commission value and that is called swap
