Financing, Known in Advance · FxPro UAE — FxPro United Arab Emirates 2026
Published per instrument and per direction — which makes it one of the few costs you can price before opening the position.
Open FxPro Account →A swap (or rollover) is the interest you pay or receive for holding a leveraged position overnight at FxPro. You are charged only when a position stays open past the daily rollover; the rate depends on the instrument and whether you are long or short, and Wednesday nights are charged triple swap to cover the weekend. Swaps add up on multi-day trades, so factor them in — or use a swap-free (Islamic) account if eligible, which holds no swap. Check the exact long and short swap per instrument inside your platform before holding overnight.

What you are debited (−) or credited (+) per standard lot held past the daily rollover, measured on FxPro’s own MT5 Raw+ feed (with the raw points in brackets). A negative number costs you to hold; a positive one pays you. Triple swap is applied on Wednesday night to cover the weekend value date. Carry / yr is the annualised swap yield (swap × 365 ÷ notional at the live price) — a rough guide to what holding the position costs or earns over a year, shown where we have a live price.

What it really costs to hold a position (measured)

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| EUR/USD | $17.90 | $71.30 | $276.00 | $7.10 | −$4.30 | −$48.00 |
| GBP/USD | $16.10 | $34.70 | $106.00 | $17.20 | $42.40 | $139.00 |

Total net cost to hold one standard lot over time — the spread plus accumulated swap. A positive figure is what it costs you; a negative one means you come out ahead (positive carry). For example, holding EUR/USD long for a month costs about $276, while a EUR/USD short earns about $48. Based on measured spreads and current swaps — rates vary.

Avoiding swaps
If you hold positions overnight regularly, a swap-free (Islamic) account may avoid swap interest for eligible clients. Check live swap rates inside your platform before holding overnight.
Open FxPro Account →Two numbers per symbol, and your side picks one
Overnight financing is published as a pair for every instrument: one figure for a long position and one for a short. The side you entered on decides which of the two is applied, and the two are not mirror images of each other.
Because both numbers exist before the trade does, the cost of holding is one of the very few things that can be priced in advance instead of discovered on the statement.
Where the pair is written down
The symbol specification in the terminal lists the long and the short figure together with the units they are expressed in. Reading them there avoids the two usual mistakes: taking the wrong direction’s number, and taking a figure that belongs to a different contract size.
The account history then shows what was actually applied, as entries separate from trade results — so the estimate and the outcome can be compared line by line rather than in aggregate.
The rollover that counts three times
One rollover in the week carries three days at once — the Wednesday one — because value dates roll forward across a weekend when the market is closed but the calendar is not.
For a position held across several nights that is not a footnote. Multiplying the direction’s figure by the nights you intend to hold, with the triple night counted properly, turns financing from an afterthought into a line in the plan.
Financing across the catalogue
Every symbol in the list carries its own pair of figures, and they differ widely between groups: a currency pair, a metal, an index and a share CFD are financed on different bases and behave differently when rates move.
Assuming that one instrument generalises to the rest of the catalogue is the most common way a multi-day plan goes wrong on cost rather than on direction.
A short list is the only auditable one
Checking a pair of numbers for four or five instruments before the week starts takes a couple of minutes. Doing it for the whole symbol list is not a task anybody finishes.
That is the practical argument for a narrow watchlist. Not that fewer instruments are better, but that a list you can actually audit is the only one whose holding costs you genuinely know.
Pricing a night before you open the position
- Open the symbol specification for the instrument you intend to hold.
- Read both figures — long and short — and note which one your side will use.
- Check the units they are expressed in and the contract size they refer to.
- Count the nights you expect to hold, and mark which of them is the triple one.
- Multiply, and write the result next to your entry plan rather than keeping it in your head.
- After the position closes, find the financing entries in the account history.
- Compare what you estimated with what was applied, and keep the difference for next time.
A swap-free account is offered to eligible traders and holds no financing; the same audit then has nothing to find, which is itself worth confirming once.
What decides the financing you are charged
| Input | Where it comes from | Why it changes the number |
|---|---|---|
| Direction | The side you entered on | Long and short carry separate figures |
| Instrument | The symbol specification | Groups are financed on different bases |
| Nights held | Your own plan | The charge repeats at every rollover |
| The triple rollover | The weekly schedule | One night carries three days at once |
| Contract size | The symbol specification | The figure is per lot, not per trade |
| Account eligibility | Swap-free status | An eligible swap-free account holds no financing |

What traders report
Financing is the one cost a trader can look up before the position is opened, so it is worth noting that only two voices here raise it at all, and neither quotes a rate. One has held GBP/USD and EUR/USD shorts since November and says the overnight charge was never high enough to force an exit; the other is a swing trader who says his Islamic account carries no swap interest. Two reports about direction and duration, then — not a substitute for reading the published number for your own instrument and side.
FxPro doesn't charge high swap commissions. I've been holding short positions on gbpusd and eurusd since november.
I'm a swing trader, so for me the spreads is just nice and acceptable with 0 commission, they offer Islamic swap free.
