Rollover/Interest Policy Premiums

In the spot Forex market trades settle in two business days. If a trader sells 10,000 euros on Tuesday, the seller must deliver 10,000 euros on Thursday unless the position is held open and rolled over to the next value date. As a service to our traders, FX Solutions automatically rolls over all open positions to the next settlement date at 5:00 PM Eastern Standard Time. Roll over involves exchanging the expiring position for a position expiring the following settlement date. The positions being exchanged are not valued at the same price. If a trader is long the currency bearing the higher interest rate, the position "being sold" is worth more than the position being acquired. The reverse is also true; if a trader is short the currency bearing the higher interest rate, the trader is acquiring a position worth more than the one "being sold". The amount of the difference varies based on the currency pair, the interest rate differential between the two currencies, and fluctuates day to day.

At 5:00 PM each day, funds are subtracted from or added to accounts with open positions because of this automatic roll over.

Note

On Wednesdays, the amount added or subtracted to an account as a result of rolling over a position is three times the usual amount. This "3-Day" rollover accounts for settlement of trades through the weekend period. When there are bank holidays in either settlement country the normal roll schedule does not apply.
