Beyond the swap: How Exness gives traders more flexibility, not more fees

Why swap-free trading gives Exness clients an edge

Every trader knows the frustration of hidden costs. You hold a position overnight expecting the market to move in your favor, only to watch your results affected by something buried in the fine print: the swap fee. These overnight charges might seem small at first, but over time, they can quietly erode strategy, confidence, and returns.

Exness has built a trading environment designed to remove that friction. It gives traders the freedom to hold positions longer, trade more strategically, and stay in the market without worrying about the added cost of swap fees.

Understanding swap fees—and why they matter

When traders keep positions open overnight, many brokers typically apply a swap fee (also known as a rollover charge). This fee reflects the interest rate difference between the two currencies or assets in the trade. It’s a standard market mechanism, but it can significantly affect results for swing and position traders.

Over time, these costs can force traders to adjust their strategies—not because the market changed, but because holding their positions becomes too expensive. Instead of managing trades according to analysis, they start managing them around fees.

That’s why swap-free trading is more than just convenience. It allows traders to focus on opportunity, rather than overheads.

How Exness helps traders hold without hesitation

Exness enables traders to hold positions overnight and over weekends without paying swap fees on a wide range of instruments, including forex pairs, metals, crypto, and selected indices. In fact, over 98% of trading volume is swap-free at Exness¹.

If an instrument qualifies for swap-free status, traders can hold it without paying or earning overnight interest. There’s no form to fill out, no hidden admin costs, and no spread widening to offset the benefit. Eligible assets can simply be traded without overnight deductions that undermine profit potential.

Traders can also check swap-free eligibility immediately before opening a position, ensuring complete transparency.

The real impact: what traders save

Consider a trader holding a 1-lot long position on gold (XAUUSD) at $3,415.98 per ounce. With an average long swap of about –$46 per night, a 20-day hold could cost close to –$920 in swap fees—without any price movement.

At Exness, if the instrument qualifies as swap-free, traders keep that $920 in their account.² That means stronger capital preservation and greater freedom to hold trades for as long as the strategy requires.

Freedom through flexibility

Eliminating swap fees helps traders manage their costs, but flexibility in trading comes from many sources. With Exness, traders also benefit from:

• Flexible leverage that can be adapted to a trader’s personal strategies and risk appetites.
• Negative balance protection, ensuring traders’ balances never go below zero.
• The tightest and most stable spreads in the market on XAUUSD and USOIL³, providing a level of pricing predictability, even in volatile conditions.
• The lowest stop out level in the market⁴, 0% stop out helps traders to manage their positions confidently.

These features combine to create a trading experience focused on control, consistency, and freedom of choice.

Swap-free options for every trader

For Muslim traders, Exness offers fully compliant Islamic accounts, removing all interest and rollover charges in accordance with Sharia law. Beyond faith-based trading, swap-free status is also available on selected instruments for eligible regions, helping traders reduce costs regardless of their trading style.

There’s no need to open a separate account or provide additional documentation. If a trader’s region and instrument qualify, swap-free trading activates automatically.

Tools that keep traders in control

Exness equips traders with tools that make planning and execution easier. The Exness trading calculator allows instant estimation of swap fees, as well as spread, commission and margin for every instrument. Traders can confirm eligibility and calculate potential costs before placing an order.

Combined with reliable liquidity, flexible leverage, and fast execution, this setup gives traders more control over the variables that affect their results, not just their entries and exits.

Trading without hidden terms

Many brokers advertise swap-free trading, but counteract this with restrictions, wider spreads, or disguised administrative fees. Exness avoids these trade-offs, displaying live pricing and swap-free eligibility in real time. Traders face no inactivity penalties, hidden costs, or renamed fees. Every condition remains visible, transparent, and verifiable. 

Exness does reserve the right to apply an administration fee on overnight orders, depending on the trader's trading activity, but will only ever do so with complete transparency.

This consistency allows traders to build and manage strategies without the fear of hidden charges changing the equation.

In trading, every detail counts. The ability to hold a position overnight without being penalized by swap fees can turn your patience into opportunity. Exness gives traders that freedom.

Whether trading gold, oil, forex, or crypto, Exness provides swap-free trading that keeps strategies intact and capital working as intended on eligible instruments. So you can trade longer, trade smarter, and trade without swap fees.
