SWAP has become a policy of brokers or regulators, so if you don't like the swap, just turn it off.

A swap is a fee that is charged when there is a shift in time in one day, if we do not close the order when the change will definitely cost.

Swap is the difference in the benchmark interest rate that applies in each country whose currency is traded on the forex market. Swap is only accepted by traders from overnight positions past midnight (broker server time) and will be determined based on whether the position opened by the trader includes long positions (buy a pair) or short positions (sell a pair). In any pair, the trader must pay interest on the currency sold, and at the same time will receive interest from the currency purchased.
Swap for traders is very problematic, swap costs are quite heavy on traders, if traders don't close the market for days the swap costs will continue to increase.

Free Account Swaps have many benefits, are sought after by many traders, and are offered by almost all forex brokers at this time.

Things like Swap will rarely be encountered in our daily lives, unless we are involved with international trade, banking, or studying forex. It is rather confusing, but once you start trading, it will slowly understand it as a fairness in transactions between countries.

with the swap, the customer can extend the transaction process where the previous transaction process will continue when the market opens, take an example if a customer is in a loss but the customer has confidence if the customer can continue to make a profit until the profit returns.

I like swap accounts, because we don't need to worry if our open positions stay for days

Swap is the exchange of interest from one currency to another, the difference between the interest of one currency and another in a pair is called a swap rate, there are swap rates that are positive and some are negative, positive interest and negative is determined from the type of transaction carried out (Buy or Sell) and also the interest rates of each currency, so that if there is a change in interest rates from a country then it also results in changes in interest this overnight

This swap is imposed if the OP that we have done lasts overnight, so if the OP has not passed the overnight swap period is not enforced, and for when this overnight time each broker has its own provisions. Positive swaps will benefit us traders who do OP because they get swap interest on the contrary for negative swaps, it is disadvantageous because it gives an additional burden in the form of swap interest. The overnight OP is not swapped to it
