In forex instruments, the amount credited or charged depends on both the positions taken (long or short) and the rate differentials between the two currencies traded. Rollover interest applies only to cash instruments and the products of the future with an end date are not charged overnight. ----------------------------------------- Rollover Rollover is a process of continuing the settlement date of an open position (i.e. the date by which an executed trade must be completed). The forex market allows two business days for settling all spot trades, which indicates the physical delivery of currencies. In margin trading, however, there is no physical delivery, and so all open positions must be closed daily at end-of-day (2200 GMT) and re-opened on the following trading day. Therefore, this pushes out the settlement by one more trading day. Rollover is agreed on through a swap contract, which comes at a cost or gain for traders. XM does not close and re-open positions, but it debits or credits trading accounts for positions held open overnight, depending on the current interest rates. ----------------------------------------- Trading Platforms XM offers two of the most popular platforms for trading.
