FX Swap Trading: What Are Swaps in Forex & How Are They Calculated?

When you trade forex, you express a view on the direction of a currency pair by buying or selling the base currency (first-named currency), with profit or loss made in the quote currency (second-named currency). In effect, you agree with us as the counterparty to take a view in one currency before swapping it back at a date of your choosing, with any running profits or losses cash-adjusted to the account.
