1. Calculate the Notional Value: Multiply the lot size by the contract size to determine the total value of the position.
Multiply by the End of Day Price: This step adjusts the notional value based on the closing price of the financial instrument at the end of the trading day.
2. Multiply by the Swap Rate: Apply the swap rate, which represents the holding cost differential between the currencies being traded. This reflects the cost or benefit of holding the position overnight.

3. Divide by 100: Convert the swap rate from a percentage to a decimal.
4. Divide by 360: Adjust the swap charge calculation to account for the 360-day year convention commonly used in financial calculations.
5. The swap rate for each Instrument is outlined in the MT5 app under Symbol Specification. Please keep in mind that between Wednesday and Thursday there are so called “Triple Swaps” because of the weekend days, when is no swap charge. Also be aware that the swap value is always in the Contract Currency, and the swap charge is calculated with that Currency. If a Trader has a position with a Contract Currency EUR, but the trading account is in USD the swap need to be converted to the account currency.
