Definition

Definition

 

A rollover fee is the overnight financing amount charged or credited when an eligible position is held past the daily rollover point. Its size depends on the instrument, direction, prevailing rates, and the broker's pricing method.

 

How It Works

 

Timing can change market conditions and financing. A position held across a cutoff or a transaction with two settlement dates can behave differently from a same-session trade.

 

Why It Matters

 

Recognizing the timing term helps you understand why a position, fee, or market condition may change even when your directional view has not.

 

Key Takeaway

 

A rollover fee is the overnight financing amount charged or credited when an eligible position is held past the daily rollover point.

Practical forex example

A demo platform shows an overnight adjustment of -$1.20 after a position is held through rollover. That debit is the rollover financing charge for that position under the platform's terms.

Why Rollover Fee matters

Understanding Rollover Fee helps traders interpret market information, plan decisions, and manage risk with more context.
