Exness Rollover period

If you keep trades open past the end of the trading day, you’ve probably come across rollover fees. On the Exness platform, this is referred to as the Exness Rollover period. While it may seem like a technical detail, understanding how it works is important — it impacts your trading costs and strategies, especially if you’re holding positions overnight.

What Is the Exness Rollover Period?

The Exness Rollover period refers to the time during which swap rates (also known as overnight financing fees) are applied to open positions that remain active beyond the end of a trading day. This process happens automatically if you don’t close a trade before the market session ends.

During this period, Exness recalculates the interest cost or gain associated with holding a position overnight. This fee can be positive or negative, depending on the asset traded and the direction of the trade (buy or sell).

When Does the Rollover Happen?

The Exness Rollover period typically begins at 22:00 GMT+0 (midnight platform time). This is when trading days officially close on the platform, and rollover calculations are applied.

Important rollover timing details:

Applied Monday to Friday, excluding weekends
Triple swaps are applied on Wednesdays to cover the weekend
Affects all positions that remain open past the daily cutoff
Fees vary depending on the instrument and market conditions

Weekly Rollover Fee Schedule (Typical)

Day of the Week	Swap Applied	Notes
Monday	1x swap	Standard overnight charge
Tuesday	1x swap	Standard overnight charge
Wednesday	3x swap	Includes Saturday and Sunday
Thursday	1x swap	Standard overnight charge
Friday	1x swap	Applies until Monday open

How Swap Fees Are Calculated During the Rollover

Swap charges depend on a few variables. Exness calculates them based on the interest rate difference between two currencies (in forex) or other relevant financing costs in the case of CFDs.

Key components of the calculation:

Trade volume (in lots)
Type of instrument (forex, metals, indices, etc.)
Direction of the position (buy or sell)
Swap rate set by Exness (varies daily)

Formula:

Swap = (Lots × Contract size × Swap rate × Number of nights) / 10

The swap rate is different for long and short positions and is updated regularly to reflect market conditions.

Instruments Affected by the Rollover Period

Most instruments are affected, but the rollover behavior can differ.

Forex pairs – Charged based on currency interest rates
Metals (gold, silver) – Fees based on holding cost
Indices – Reflect index-specific financing rates
Cryptocurrencies – Often have higher swap costs
Energies (oil, gas) – Subject to market storage fees
