A swap is charged when a position is rolled over to the next day. If you have a swap free option on your account, a swap is not charged. However, a daily storage fee applies.

The commission depends on many factors just like the spread size. So, before opening a long-term position, we advise you to learn more about the commission rates.

InstaForex strives to offer you the best trading conditions and optimize the costs. That is why commissions are not charged for some categories of trading instruments.

However, certain conditions apply. If such conditions are fulfilled, the company does not charge any commissions for transactions with these types of assets regardless of the duration of an order.

In this case, a commission is not charged for the locked size of a trade (neither for a buy nor a sell position).

Suppose you have a sell trade on #TSLA of 1 lot and an opposite buy trade on #TSLA of 0.5 lot. A commission will be charged only for 0.5 lot of a sell trade.

A commission is charged for all sell trades unless there is an opposite buy trade on the same asset or a sold asset differs from the account currency. For example, the account is in USD, and the client opens a sell trade on #Ethereum, thus borrowing it from the company.


Now let’s go over the steps of how a commission is charged.

This is how the algorithm looks like:

1
First, you calculate free margin available on the account where a trade on a chosen asset (stocks or cryptocurrency) is open.
2
Then, current margin on non-locked buy positions is added to free margin
3
Finally, you compare the amount you get in the previous step with the nominal value (without leverage) of non-locked buy positions. A commission is not charged on the part of the trade maintained by the client’s own funds.

Please note that swaps on stocks and cryptocurrencies are displayed in the account history in the form of a separate balance record (Stocks custodial fee/Crypto custodial fee).


We hope that this description of how a storage fee is charged was helpful for you. This is a great opportunity to avoid commissions when trading such volite assets as cryptocurrencies and stocks. For this, you just need to meet a few simple requirements.
