Please note that spreads may widen when the markets experience lower liquidity, including rollover time. This may persist until liquidity levels are restored.

Swaps
Swap is the interest that is applied to all forex trading positions that are left open overnight. Swaps occur at 22:00 GMT+0 each day, excluding the weekend, until the position is closed. To help you estimate your swap costs, you can use our handy Exness calculator. Please bear in mind that when trading forex pairs, triple swaps are charged on Wednesdays to cover financing costs incurred over the weekend.
Swap values may be updated on a daily basis. If you are a resident of a Muslim country, all accounts are automatically swap-free.
Dynamic margin requirements
The margin requirement for your account is tied to the amount of leverage you use. Changing leverage will cause margin requirements to change. Just as spreads may change depending on market conditions, the amount of leverage available to you can also vary. You can read more about the changes in margin requirements in the FAQ section below.
Fixed margin requirements
Margin requirements for exotic currency pairs always remain fixed, regardless of the leverage you use. The margin for these instruments is held in accordance with the instruments’ margin requirements and is not affected by the leverage on your account.

Frequently asked questions
What are the most popular currency pairs to trade?
The most popular currency pairs to trade are the ones that offer the most liquidity - i.e. the ones that people trade the most.
These include FX majors like AUDUSD, EURUSD, GBPUSD, NZDUSD, USDCAD, USDCHF, and USDJPY.
Other popular currency pairs that traders like to add to their portfolios are FX minors. These include AUDCAD, CADCHF, EURAUD, GBPCHF, and more. Most FX minors are also available with no overnight charges at Exness.
What is leverage in forex trading?
Leverage is essentially the ability to place trades with the use of borrowed capital. Your broker gives you a sort of loan to add to your funds, so you can use less of your own money, but still access larger trading positions.
When combined with a solid risk management strategy, leverage in forex can lead to greater returns from FX trading, because it makes capitalizing on smaller price movements more lucrative. But it can also lead to greater losses if you don't combine it with a well-thought-out risk management strategy.
To avoid excess losses and increase your chances of higher returns, make sure you plan your risk strategy and maintain a sensible level of exposure before choosing your preferred leverage option.
What is margin in online forex trading?
Margin in online forex trading is basically the amount of money that you need to open a position. It acts as collateral against any price movements. Forex brokers usually determine this as a percentage of the total position size, based on your chosen leverage.
To open a forex trade online, you need to have enough funds in your account to meet the margin requirement for the trade. You can gain more control over your trades by setting an appropriate margin level that aligns with your overall risk management strategy.
