Navigate the Markets with Confidence: Understanding Overnight Positions and Rollover at Juno Markets
In the dynamic world of trading, understanding the mechanics of overnight positions and rollover is crucial for effective risk management. At Juno Markets, we provide transparent policies to help you navigate these aspects with ease.
Overnight Positions
An overnight position refers to a trade that remains open past the standard closing time of the market. In forex trading, since markets operate 24 hours a day, this typically means holding a position past 5 PM New York time (EST).
Rollover Explained
Rollover, also known as swap, is the process of extending the settlement date of an open position. If you hold a position overnight, you may either earn or pay interest, depending on the direction of your trade and the differential in interest rates between the two currencies involved.

Wednesday is typically associated with a 3-day rollover in forex trading due to the way the spot forex market's settlement works. Trades take two days to settle. If you were to hold a position open on Wednesday, it would normally settle on Friday. However, since the market is closed on weekends, the settlement is actually rolled over to the next available business day, which is Monday. Therefore, holding a position overnight on Wednesday incurs three days' worth of rollover interest to cover the weekend.
