If the US30Roll swaps are -8.3 for long positions and 2.3 for short positions and you have traded 1 lot:

Long Charge for 1 day: -8.3 / 360 / 100 * 1 (Volume) * 38,000 (EOD Price) = -8.76 USD

Short Credit for 1 day: 2.3 / 360 / 100 * 1 (Volume) * 38,000 (EOD Price) = 2.42 USD

If your account is in another currency than the P/L currency, then the result needs to be converted to the account currency at the spot exchange rate of the two currencies.

If the EURUSD swaps are -6.83 for long positions and 2.96 for short positions and you have traded 1 lot (100,000 EUR):

Long Charge for 1 day: 1 * 100,000 * -6.93 * 0.00001 (Point Size*) = -6.93 USD

Short Credit for 1 day: 1 * 100,000 * 2.96 * 0.00001 (Point Size*) = 2.96 USD


If the USDJPY swaps are 11.94 for long positions and 26.21 for short positions and you have traded 1 lot (100,000 USD):

Long Credit for 1 day: 1 * 100,000 * 11.94 * 0.001 (Point Size*) = 1,194 JPY

Short Credit for 1 day: 1 * 100,000 * -26.21 * 0.001 (Point Size*) = -2,621 JPY

If your account is in another currency than the P/L currency, then the result needs to be converted to the account currency at the spot exchange rate of the two currencies.

*Point Size is the maximum number of decimals that each FX product is priced to. For example, EURUSD is priced 5dp therefore the point size is 0.00001. USDJPY is priced to 3 decimals therefore the Point Size is 0.001.

If today is Monday & the EURUSD value date is Wednesday; then at 5pm NYT (21:00 GMT) Monday night the EURUSD’s value date will roll from Wednesday to Thursday (1 calendar day). In this example, the swap value is 10 MT5 points per day - which is quoted as ‘10’ in our rollover rates below - so the rate will be calculated is 10 (1 * 10).

If today is Wednesday & the EURUSD value date is Friday; then at 5 pm NY time (9 pm GMT) Wednesday night the EURUSD’s value date will roll from Friday to Monday (3 calendar days) as markets close and positions cannot be altered over the weekend. In this example, the swap value would be 30 MT5 points (10pts/day) - as even though it’s quoted as 10, the rate on Wednesday nights will be automatically calculated by MT5 as 30 (3*10).

In the event of a holiday, the value dates roll in line with market convention. 

If today is Wednesday, the EURUSD value date is Friday but there’s a holiday on Monday; then at 5 pm NY time (9 pm GMT) Wednesday night the EURUSD’s value date will roll from Friday to Tuesday (it can’t roll to Monday as Monday is a holiday) which is 4 calendar days. So in this example, the swap value is 40 MT5 points (10pts/day). We quote “13.33” as MT5 knows that on a Wednesday it will charge 3 times the value we input. 3 * 13.33 = 40.
