Negative = charged to the account each night the position is held; positive = credited; $0.00 = no charge on that side. On the triple-swap day the nightly amount is applied three times to cover the weekend. Energies (US Oil, UK Oil) are the exception: no triple-swap day — the swap is simply applied each night.

Example from the measured rates: holding one lot of gold long costs about $69.85 per night — roughly $2,794.00 over 30 nights once triple-swap days are counted. The same position held short carries $0.00 in swap. Direction matters as much as the instrument.
One week = 7 nights including one triple-swap night (9 charge units); for energies, which have no triple-swap day, a week is 7 nightly charges. Instruments with zero swap on both sides are omitted. Swap rates change with interest rates and market conditions — the platform shows the current rate before an order is placed.
