Calculating Swap Costs for Malta Positions
Our platform calculates swap costs using the formula: Pip Value multiplied by Swap Rate and Lot Size. Traders in Malta receive detailed breakdowns of these charges applied at daily rollover. The system factors in currency pair specifics, account base currency, and Malta trading session timings.
Key calculation elements include:
- Position size measured in standard lots
- Applicable swap rate differentials per currency pair
- Conversion to account base currency
- Malta-specific trading hours influence
- Triple swap charges on Wednesdays to cover weekends
Triple swap charges on Wednesdays account for market closure over weekends. Our platform alerts Malta traders in advance of such events. Additionally, historical swap data is accessible for strategy backtesting purposes.
Positive Swap Opportunities
Certain currency pairs provide positive swap rates depending on trade direction, creating carry trade possibilities. Our research team supplies weekly swap rate forecasts tailored to Malta market conditions. Traders can track interest rate differentials to identify profitable overnight holdings.

Malta clients benefit from advanced risk management tools that monitor swap exposure on overnight positions. Our platform computes maximum allowable swap charges relative to account equity. Automated alerts notify traders when swap costs approach preset limits.
