Swap Is Not in the Position Row — Where to Find It · FxPro Australia

Measured swap rates (Raw+)

What you are debited (−) or credited (+) per standard lot held past the daily rollover, measured on FxPro’s own MT5 Raw+ feed (with the raw points in brackets). A negative number costs you to hold; a positive one pays you. Triple swap is applied on Wednesday night to cover the weekend value date. Carry / yr is the annualised swap yield (swap × 365 ÷ notional at the live price) — a rough guide to what holding the position costs or earns over a year, shown where we have a live price.

What it really costs to hold a position (measured)

Total net cost to hold one standard lot over time — the spread plus accumulated swap. A positive figure is what it costs you; a negative one means you come out ahead (positive carry). For example, holding EUR/USD long for a month costs about $276, while a EUR/USD short earns about $48. Based on measured spreads and current swaps — rates vary.

The field a positions list cannot carry

Every trading interface makes the same trade-off, and a phone makes it hardest: a row has to fit a name, a size and a number that changes every tick. Floating profit wins that place because it is the number people open the app to see. Swap, which changes once at rollover rather than every tick, loses it — not because it matters less, but because it does not move often enough to earn a live column on a small screen.

The result is a reading that is accurate and incomplete at the same time. Floating profit on the phone answers what the market has done to the position. It does not answer what holding it has cost, and over several nights those two answers drift apart quietly, in a field nobody has opened.

Three places the same number lives

Before a trade, the rate lives in the instrument specification: long and short, per standard lot, per night. While the trade is open, the accrued amount lives in the position detail on a phone and in a column of the trade tab on a desktop terminal. After it closes, it lives in the history entry for that position. One figure, three surfaces, and only the middle one is genuinely awkward to reach from a phone.

That is worth knowing before a multi-night position rather than after it. The measured table above prices a night per instrument in both directions; the instrument specification in your own terminal is the live version of the same thing, and it is the one your account will actually charge.

When the display gap turns into a surprise

The pattern is consistent: a position is opened on the phone, watched on the phone and closed on the phone, and every reading in between comes from a row that structurally cannot show financing. The trade closes, the entry lands, and the result sits a little further from expectation than the chart had suggested.

None of that requires a different platform, only one extra tap during the days a position is open — or one look at the rate before it is opened. Costs settled inside the trade itself are covered on our spreads and costs page; funding and account reports live in the FxPro Direct area rather than in the terminal.
