Vantage FX Swaps and Rollovers
When trading spot Forex and metals, all trades will be settled in two business days from date of entry, as per normal market convention. Because Vantage FX UK is not involved in the physical delivery of trades, all open positions at the end of the trading day (20:59.59 server time 21:59.59 BST) will be rolled over to a new value date and will therefore have exposure to a swap charge or credit.
For trades held open from Wednesday to Thursday as per server time, the new value date becomes Monday, rather than the weekend. This means the rollover charge on a Wednesday evening will be three times the usual value indicated on the table.
Vantage FX UK – Overall Review
