Accounts are credited or charged in case at the time of expiration they hold their position during the roll over
to the new contract. As the old and the new contract have different values, an adjustment is made in the form
of swaps and appear in the swaps section of the platforms. This should not be considered as swap, but as a
price adjustment. The respective adjustment will be made to both sides, buy, and sell and will be positive and
negative, the exact values are shown on symbol specification a day before the expiration. The net result for the
client would be to have the same net Profit / Loss as before the rollover but adjusted to the new contract's price.
The Roll Over for Futures is calculated in Money (Currency) in the form of Swaps, with the calculation formula for
Swaps in Money be Lots x Swap Long (or Swap Short). On the platforms, the Roll Over (Swap) is automatically
converted into the balance currency. The operation is conducted at midnight server time (00:00 server time /5pm
NY time) and will only be charged/gained if you have an open trade at this time when the Future expires. Example :
For 1 Lot Long Poisiton on Coffee - 1 x 1 x 5 = 5 USD will be reduced from your account, in the form of Swaps, and
this amount will be reflected inversely into your position Profit / Loss.
