Understanding Exness Overnight Charges

Types of Exness Overnight Charges

Exness online broker applies two main types of overnight charges:

Swap rates

Swap rates are interest-based fees that can be either positive (credited to the trader’s account) or negative (debited from the account). These rates are determined by the interest rate differential between the two currencies in a forex pair. For example, if a trader holds a long position in USD/JPY, they may receive interest on the USD (if its interest rate is higher) while paying interest on the borrowed JPY.

Administration fees

In addition to swap rates, Exness may charge administrative fees for positions held overnight. These fees cover the operational costs associated with maintaining open positions outside regular trading hours. Unlike swap rates, administration fees are typically fixed and do not fluctuate based on interest rate differentials.

Calculating Exness overnight charges involves several factors:

1. Swap rate: Found in the contract specifications for each instrument.
2. Position size: Larger positions incur higher charges.
3. Number of nights: Charges accumulate for each night held.

The basic formula is:

Overnight Charge = (Swap Rate * Position Size * Number of Nights) / 10

For example, a 1 lot EUR/USD position with a -0.85 swap rate held for 3 nights would result in: (-0.85 * 100,000 * 3) / 10 = -$25.50

On Wednesdays (for most instruments), the swap is tripled. For instance, holding a position from Tuesday to Thursday incurs 3x the normal rate. You can simplify these calculations using the Exness Calculator, which helps traders quickly estimate their overnight fees and other trade metrics.

Effective management of overnight fees can significantly impact trading profitability:

• Timing trades: Consider opening positions after 21:00 GMT to avoid immediate charges.
• Utilize swap-free accounts: You can use Exness Islamic accounts (without swaps) for eligible traders.
• Monitor holding periods: Long-term positions accumulate higher fees – factor this into strategy.
• Leverage calendar awareness: Remember triple-swap days (usually Wednesdays) for most instruments.
• Regular fee checks: Stay updated on current swap rates, as they can change based on market conditions.
• Incorporate fees in profit calculations: Don’t forget to factor in overnight charges when assessing potential trade profitability.
• Consider trading direction: Long vs. short positions may have different swap rates – choose wisely.

By implementing these practices, traders can minimize the impact of overnight fees and potentially enhance their overall trading performance on the Exness platform.
