Understanding What Does Rollover Mean in FxPro
In FxPro, rollover refers to the process of extending the settlement date of an open position to the next trading day. This is important for both forex and CFD traders in South Africa as it impacts position costs. Rollover involves interest rate differentials between two currencies or underlying assets. The fee or credit is automatically applied to your account at 23:59 server time, which corresponds to 01:59 SAST in South Africa. Knowing what does rollover mean in FxPro helps you manage overnight holdings effectively.
Factors Affecting Rollover Calculation
- Interest Rate Differentials: The difference between interest rates of the currencies involved.
- Position Size: Larger positions result in proportionally higher rollover fees or credits.
- Instrument Type: Forex pairs and CFDs have distinct rollover mechanisms.
Our system calculates rollover automatically and updates it daily on trading accounts. South African traders can check rollover charges via the trading platform’s instrument specification section. Rollover fees are transparent and reflected in the account history for full clarity.
