Parabolic SAR - that's all!

Akram,

Are you asking about the rollover at Delta specifically - or just in general?

Put it this way:

All the brokers will have page that details the rollover amounts specific to the currency pair so you just have to go to that page on the broker's website and you will see the amount of interest earned / charged depending on the position that you are holding on the pair i.e. long or short.

Delta is one of the few brokers that I know of that pays / charges interest no matter what you balance or margin setting is. Some of the other brokers will only PAY YOU interest if you have a certain minimum lot size or margin percentage. At THESE brokers you do NOT earn any interest and YOU pay both ways.

Rollover is calculated daily.

Here is Delta's rollover information (they explain it a lot better than I could):

Dale,

i was asking in general as u know our strategy we r sticking with involved us to open a postion for like 18 or more days or less.
so do u have like a mathematical calculation of how these people charge us?

So what u mean is that i can be charged both ways if i open the postion and the price is with me or against me?

sorry Dale but i really failed to undersnatd the concept of the rollover although i read about alot but i don't know may be i have a problem!!!

Thanks

Akram

rollover differs a little from broker to broker, but generally it will depend on your leverage. the higher the leverage the more it cost you.
Some pairs if the trade is the right direction pay you int. here again it depneds on the leverage.

the image below is fxsols cost of carry you can get a idea of which ones are most expensive to hold and which ones will pay.

if your short yen pairs with high leverage it gets expensive, however if they are falling its worth it. If not its a double wammy!


I dont know why the thumbnail isnt showing proper but the pic is ok click on it.

Hi,

Edit:

(Sorry - we were 'overtyping' each other again so your question has probably already been answered but here was my reply anyway).

OK - let me (try) and explain.

Let's use Delta as an example.

Let's say you bought (went long) 1 lot of EUR/USD and your lot size was 70000.

At Delta the number of swap (or rollover) points for a long position on EUR/USD is -0.75 as per their table.

So the calculation would be as follows:

(-0.75 / 10000) x 70000 (lot size) x 1 (day) = -$5.25 USD

So - for a long position on EUR/USD you would PAY $5.25 USD per day in interest / rollover.

NOW:

Let's say you sold (went short) 1 lot of EUR/USD and your lot size was 70000.

At Delta the number of swap (or rollover) points for a short position on EUR/USD is 0.19 as per their table.

So the calculation would be as follows:

(0.19 / 10000) x 70000 (lot size) x 1 (day) = $1.33 USD

So - a long position on EUR/USD would EARN you $1.33 USD per day i.e. you get paid (or receive) $1.33 USD per day on a long position on EUR/USD.

As detailed in on their web page the calculation for all JPY crosses differs slightly.

Now that's at Delta (for example). At GCI - unless your lot size is set to a minimum of $200 (the default or minimum lot size is $50) - then you NEVER earn interest and only pay interest based on the figures that they give you on THEIR website. If you have increased your lot size to $200 at GCI then you pay and receive as in the above example based (on their calculation and figures).

You just have to check how your broker operates.

Regards,

Dale.

ok mike

the aligator indicatore is having 3 lines which are like the MA'S.We r not concerning about the alligatore to start our action based on them like to buy or sell.but what we do is we follow the Psar when they form a new dot on the opps. direction we start our action wheather to buy or sell depends on the dot where they formed.

What the alligatore do is that the moment this dot appear they form a uturn (up or down depends on the market) and they do one of 2 things

1- they eather go into the direction of the dots (without touching each otheres) forming a trend and that tells u that u have to keep your postion opened to take the max profit

2-they touches each others (the aligator is sleeping and is not hungry any more) so we find the market goes sideways which means that we will never get any profit so we better stay out of the marekt or close our postions.

u can watch them in your platform to feel them more and more

I hope that u now understand my point if not please feel free to ask and i will do my best to help u

Dale i think monday is the worst day durning the week i am fade up with the loss i am having they r not alot but they r really upsetting me i know i should have more patience that what i have.

Regards,

Akram
