Choose the rate mode before copying a number
The long and short swap fields have no safe meaning without the associated calculation mode. The four supported modes answer different unit questions:
- Symbol points: rate × point size × contract size × lots.
- Account currency per lot: rate × platform lots.
- Annual interest — current price: current notional × annual rate ÷ 100 ÷ 360.
- Annual interest — opening price: opening notional × annual rate ÷ 100 ÷ 360.
Money modes expressed in base, margin or profit currency require separate currency treatment and are not relabelled as account currency here.
The schedule is entered, not guessed
MetaTrader exposes both a three-day rollover property and weekday swap ratios. Brokers can apply zero, single or triple weights by symbol and can make exceptional changes.
This bounded interface models weekday rollover entries with 1× weights and, only when selected, one 3× weekday. It starts with no 3× adjustment so Wednesday is never silently treated as universal.
Points mode = signed points × SYMBOL_POINT × contract size × lots × quote-to-account rate
Account-money mode = signed account-currency amount per lot × lots
Annual-interest mode = reference price × contract size × lots × signed annual rate ÷ 100 ÷ 360 × quote-to-account rate
Total = normal-unit amount × sum of entered weekday weights
A positive result is a conditional swap-only credit and a negative result is a conditional swap-only debit. Neither is total trade P/L, a forecast, an executable quote, a profitability grade or a carry-trade recommendation.
