SWAP

Swap Rate

An interest rate swap is most commonly used in hedging to convert floating rates to fixed rates and vice versa. The swap rate is often used for speculation, as it has high demand and liquidity. We will make a percentage adjustment to your account so that you can find out the cost of financing your operation.
Daily swap charge / credit = (One point / exchange rate) x (Trade size [or notional amount] x tom next)

We source our tom next rates from a tier-one global investment bank. These are updated on a regular basis to account for the dynamic tom next market.

Note: Our Commodities metal swaps are also calculated in the same way
Daily swap charge / credit = (market closing price x Trade size x (our charge* +/- LIBOR)) / 365

*Our charge is 2.5%. If you’re long, you pay LIBOR (or the equivalent interbank rate). If you’re short, you receive it.
Daily swap charge / credit = (Trade size x (basis* +/- our charge**))

*Formula for the basis = (P3 – P2) / (T2 – T1), where: P2 = price of front-month future P3 = price of next-month future T1 = expiry date of the previous front-month future T2 = expiry date of the front-month future

**Our charge = CFD mid price x 2.5% / 365. If you pay the basis on your trade, our charge is added; if you receive the basis, the charge is deducted.
Daily swap charge / credit = market closing price x Trade size x (our charge* +/- LIBOR)) / 365

*Our charge is 2.5%. If you’re long, you pay LIBOR (or the equivalent interbank rate). If you’re short, you receive it.
