What Is an Overnight Swap Charge?
At the end of each trading day (5pm New York time), your open CFD positions may be subject to a charge known as a holding cost. Depending on whether you’re long or short, this fee may be deducted from or credited to your account.
- Forex holding costs are based on the tom-next overnight rate and shown as points on the MT5 platform
- Since most liquidity providers are closed over the weekend, a triple holding cost is typically charged on Wednesday nights to cover the weekend
- National holidays generally carry no holding cost, but any additional charge is applied on the preceding trading day
No Hidden Fees, Guaranteed
Austex Markets does not charge account opening fees, account maintenance fees on active accounts, or deposit fees. Beyond the spreads, commissions and holding costs listed in MT5 instrument specifications, there are no undisclosed charges.
