Is it possible to archive an account that is not in use?

No, it is not possible to archive an account. If the account balance is 10 USD or less and there were no login attempts made for 90 days, then it will be automatically archived by the system and it will no longer be visible in the Client Area.

When are swaps charged at a triple rate for currency pairs and metals?

Triple swap charges apply for positions on FX pairs, Silver and Gold that are held overnight on Wednesday. For the rest of the instruments, triple swap charges apply for positions that are held overnight on Friday. This is a standard practice in the forex industry.

These swaps cover the interest for Saturday and Sunday when the markets are closed. All swaps are calculated based on the quote currency.

Example:

If you open a long position of 1 lot on EURAUD, the overnight swap charge would be -14.11 Australian Dollars. If you had opened the same position on a Wednesday and roll over the position to the next day, the swap would be -14.11 * 3.

If the account currency is in USD, then we have to convert the amount above to USD by using AUDUSD spot rate.

Where can I check the SWAP rates?

We update the swaps based on the rates given to us by our counterparties and we recommend checking the swap rates on a regular basis within the MetaTrader platform. Our updated swaps are always available by clicking here.

You can also check the swap rates by logging into the MetaTrader trading platform and select: View > Symbols > Select instrument > Properties

There are two types of positions: buy and sell. You must look at the Financing long for swaps for buy positions and at the Financing short for swaps for sell positions. Swaps are charged at 00:00 platform time.
