Understanding Overnight Costs with G2G Swap Rates
G2G empowers you to trade confidently with clear explanations and tools to calculate swap costs. Our platform provides you with knowledge on how swap rates affect your trading to ensure that you’re fully prepared for every trade.

Understanding Swap Rates
When you keep an open Forex account overnight, you will be subjected to swap rates. These rollover rates are all about the spread between the interest rates of two currencies within a single pair.
Think of it as borrowing one currency to purchase another. The interest rate on the currency you purchased (long position) surpasses the interest rate on the currency you sold (short position) can lead to an income or a positive swap rate. Contrastingly, if the interest rate you’re borrowing is higher then you have to pay the negative swap rate.
How Swap Rates Affect Trading

Overnight Costs
Negative swap rates eat into your potential profits, especially for long positions held overnight. Once you learn the ins and outs of the swap rates, you can effectively factor in the costs to make smart trading decisions.

Strategic Opportunities
Contrarily, positive swap rates offer thrilling opportunities to generate income for long-term carry trades. You can boost your return by strategically streamlining the swap rates.

Active vs. Passive Trading
Swap rates are particularly relevant for passive traders who hold positions for extended periods. Active traders who frequently open and close positions within the same day might experience less impact from swap rates.
