About FXGT's swap points
In FX trading, swap points are an important factor that directly impacts the profit or loss while holding a position
Understanding swap points is crucial for developing strategies swap
Here, we will explain the basic concepts and mechanisms of swap points in an easy-to-understand manner
Understanding the above information will be helpful for trading on FXGT, so please refer to it
What are swap points?
Swap points refer to the profit or loss that arises from the interest rate difference between two different currencies .
This occurs daily simply by holding a position overnight
When you sell a low-interest currency and buy a high-interest currency, you can receive swap points based on the interest rate difference
Conversely, if you sell a high-interest currency and buy a low-interest currency, you will have to pay swap points
Swap point mechanism
Swap points are heavily influenced by the policy interest rates set by each country's central bank.
For example, if country A's policy interest rate is 5% and country B's policy interest rate is 0.5%, then if you take a position buying country A's currency and selling country B's currency, you will earn swap points daily based on the interest rate difference of 4.5% (annually)
Conversely, if you take a position selling a high-interest currency and buying a low-interest currency, your swap points will be negative
For example, in a case where you buy Japanese yen, which has a low policy interest rate, and sell Turkish lira, which has a high interest rate, you will have to pay swap points for each position you hold
Remember that this interest rate differential fluctuates daily, and therefore swap points also fluctuate accordingly
Features of FXGT's swap points
FXGT's swap points have some features that traders should be aware of
Understanding the characteristics of swap points is crucial for trading efficiently on FXGT
Here, we will explain in detail the following points regarding the characteristics of FXGT's swap points
- FXGT has days when swap points are tripled
- FXGT offers different swap points depending on the account type
- FXGT offers account types that are swap-free

Understand these features and use them to your advantage when trading on FXGT
FXGT has days when swap points are tripled
FXGT offers certain stocks where swap points are tripled on specific days of the week.
This is mainly due to interest rate adjustments caused by the weekend
Normally, FX swap points are credited daily, but because the market is closed on Saturdays and Sundays, those swap points are credited all at once on a specific day before the weekend
By holding a position during this triple-point day, you have the potential to efficiently earn swap points
However, since negative swap points also triple, you need to be careful about the direction of your position
For specific stocks and the corresponding days of the week for triple-payout days, please refer to the table below
| Target stocks | day of week |
|---|---|
| FX currency pairs, metals (precious metals), energy | Wednesday |
| Stock price indices and stocks | Friday |
FXGT offers different swap points depending on the account type
At FXGT, swap points vary depending on the type of account offered.
This is because each account type caters to the diverse needs of different traders
For example, when engaging in swing trading or position trading with the intention of holding positions for the long term, swap points significantly impact profits and losses, making the choice of account type crucial
By choosing an account that suits your trading style, you can minimize unexpected losses due to swap points, or conversely, turn them into profits
Check the detailed swap point conditions for each account type on the FXGT official website and choose the account that best suits your needs
FXGT offers account types that are swap-free
offers swap-free services (no swap points are incurred) for some account types
Swap-free accounts offer significant advantages for traders who hold positions long-term or who want to trade without worrying about the profit or loss of swap points due to interest rate fluctuations
In particular, the ability to trade without worrying about costs, especially in cases where large swap point payments would normally be incurred, such as short positions in high-interest currency pairs, is very appealing
Please refer to the table below to see which securities are eligible for swap-free trading under which account types

FXGT has different swap point accrual times depending on the instrument
At FXGT, the time it takes for swap points to accrue varies depending on the type of instrument you trade
This is because adjustments are made to suit the closing time of the market on which each stock is based, as well as the characteristics of each stock
For example, while swap points are typically credited at the start of a new day for FX currency pairs and CFD products swap points for cryptocurrencies are credited six times a day, every four hours .
When holding a position overnight, it is important to check in advance when swap points will accrue for the securities you hold
This prevents losses from unintended swaps occurring at unexpected times, enabling more planned trading
For specific swap point accrual times for each group of securities, please refer to the table below

FX Cross Currency Pair Swap Points
In FXGT, cross currency pairs refer to currency pairs that do not include the US dollar, with typical examples being the Euro/Yen (EUR/JPY) and the British Pound/Yen (GBP/JPY)
These currency pairs tend to have larger interest rate differentials compared to major currency pairs, which can lead to larger profits or losses from swap points
In particular, cross-yen pairs that include high-interest currencies are sometimes used for trading aimed at earning swap points, but caution is needed regarding their volatility
Check the latest swap point information on the FXGT trading platform and use it to inform your trading strategy

Swap points for exotic currency pairs in FX
The exotic currency pairs offered by FXGT are characterized by relatively low trading volume and low liquidity, often consisting of combinations of major currencies and emerging market currencies
These pairs often have very large interest rate differentials, which can lead to significant profits from swap points

If your goal is to earn swap points, it's advisable to consider holding the investment long-term with a positive swap rate

Cryptocurrency swap points
FXGT allows you to trade major cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum as CFDs
Unlike FX currency pairs, cryptocurrency swap points are calculated based on unique factors such as market liquidity, interest rates, and lending fees
Because these securities experience significant price fluctuations, swap points can sometimes become a cost of long-term holding, while positive swap points can potentially become a source of profit
In particular, since cryptocurrencies award swap points six times a day, every four hours, it's important to understand when these points are generated

Synthetic Cryptocurrency Swap Points
The synthetic cryptocurrency offered by FXGT is a derivative product with unique properties that differ from those of regular cryptocurrencies
The swap points for these instruments are determined based on the market trends of the underlying cryptocurrency and FXGT's proprietary calculation logic
It's important to note that because its liquidity and price formation mechanisms differ from those of typical cryptocurrencies, the patterns in which swap points are generated are also unique
It is important to always check the details of swap points before trading and incorporate them into your trading plan

FXGT Swap Point Calculation Method
Swap points in FXGT are primarily calculated based on the interest rate difference between the two countries that make up the currency pair
This is then adjusted internally by FXGT and the conditions of its partner liquidity providers, resulting in a value that fluctuates daily
Here, we will explain the following swap point calculation formula
- Cross-currency swap point calculation formula
- Swap point calculation formulas other than cross-yen pairs
Cross-currency swap point calculation formula
Swap points for cross-currency pairs (e.g., USD/JPY, EUR/JPY) are primarily calculated based on the interest rate difference between the target currency and the Japanese yen
This calculation is performed using the following formula, and the result is directly calculated in Japanese Yen
Swap point profit/loss (yen) = "Trading volume (number of lots)" × "Contract size" × "Decimal places" × "Swap points"
- Swap Point Profit/Loss (JPY) : The total amount of swap points earned or paid by holding a position.
- Trading volume (number of lots) : The number of lots of the open position.
- Contract size : The trading volume per lot, typically 100,000 units of currency (for a standard lot).
- Decimal digits : The value of the smallest price unit of a currency pair. In the case of USD/JPY, this generally refers to 0.01 yen (the value of 1 pip).
- Swap Points : The swap point value displayed on the FXGT trading platform, based on the interest rate difference.
Example of calculating swap points for cross-currency pairs
<Prerequisites> ・Holding a buy position of 1 lot (contract size of 100,000 units) of USD/JPY ・Swap points displayed on the FXGT platform are "3" ・Decimal places are "0.01" (1 pip is worth 0.01 yen) <Calculation Example> Profit/Loss from Swap Points (yen) = 1 (lot size) × 100,000 (contract size) × 0.01 (decimal places) × 3 (swap points) = 3,000 (yen)
This is merely an example to explain the concept of the calculation formula; for actual FXGT swap point values and definitions of each item, always refer to the information displayed on the platform
Swap point calculation formulas other than cross-yen pairs
Swap points for currency pairs other than cross-yen pairs (e.g., EUR/USD, GBP/AUD, etc.) are calculated based on the interest rate difference between the base currency and the settlement currency
This calculation is first performed in the settlement currency, and then converted to Japanese yen, which is the account's base currency
The final swap point profit or loss (in yen) can be calculated using the following two-step formula
- Calculation of profit/loss from swap points (settlement currency)
- Conversion of swap point profit/loss (in yen)
Calculation of profit/loss from swap points (settlement currency)
The formula for calculating the profit or loss from swap points (in settlement currency) is as follows:
Swap point profit/loss (settlement currency) = "Trading volume (number of lots)" × "Contract size" × "Decimal places" × "Swap points"
- Trading volume (number of lots ): The number of lots of the open position.
- Contract size : This refers to the trading volume per lot, typically 100,000 units of currency (for a standard lot).
- Decimal digits : The value of the smallest price unit of a currency pair. For example, in the case of Euro/US Dollar (EUR/USD), this typically refers to 0.0001 US dollars (the value of 1 pip).
- Swap Points : The swap point value displayed on the FXGT trading platform, based on the interest rate difference.
The following is an example of how to calculate the profit or loss (settlement currency) from swap points
Example of calculating profit/loss from swap points (settlement currency)
<Assumptions> - Holding a short position of 1 lot (contract size of 100,000 units) of Euro/US Dollar (EUR/USD) - The swap point displayed on the FXGT platform is "-1.5" - Decimal place is "0.0001" (1 pip is worth 0.0001 dollars) <Calculation Example> - Profit/Loss from Swap Points (USD) = 1 (lot size) × 100,000 (contract size) × 0.0001 (decimal place) × (-1.5) (swap point) = -15 (USD)
Conversion of swap point profit/loss (in yen)
The method for converting swap points to profit or loss (in yen) is as follows:
Swap point profit/loss (yen) = "Swap point profit/loss (settlement currency)" × "Exchange rate between settlement currency and Japanese yen"
- Exchange rate between settlement currency and Japanese yen : The conversion rate from the settlement currency (e.g., US dollars for EUR/USD) to the account currency, Japanese yen (e.g., the current USD/JPY rate).
Based on the results calculated in the example of calculating swap point profit/loss (settlement currency), we will convert the swap point profit/loss (yen) as follows
Example of converting swap point profit/loss to yen
<Assumptions> The USD/JPY exchange rate is 150 yen. <Calculation Example> Swap point profit/loss (yen) = -15 (Swap point profit/loss (USD)) × 150 (USD/JPY rate) = -2,250 (yen)
This is merely an example to explain the concept of the calculation formula; for actual FXGT swap point values and definitions of each item, always refer to the information displayed on the platform
