The account with the highest number of swaps can be compared in the All-Period Average Swap Report (June 5, 2018)
What kind of report?
● To identify accounts with the highest swap points, we calculate and publish the swap points for major currency pairs by major accounts
● The accounts are, Money Partners, GMO Click Securities, FX Prime by GMO, Hirose Trading, SBIFX Trade, Central Tsurishi FX, Traders Securities
● The currency pairs are, Turkish Lira/Yen, South African Rand/Yen, Mexican Peso/Yen, Australian Dollar/Yen, New Zealand Dollar/Yen, Dollar/Yen
● From autumn 2017 to present, we aggregate swap points and publish the average swap points per 10,000 units per day
● All-time average: the average swap points from September 11, 2017 to present (average since the currency pair began being offered; e.g., FX Prime uses the average from January 2018).
● Money Partners swap points are for Partners FX accounts. Partners FX nano is not included.
● From January 29, 2018, we added FX Prime's Mexican Peso/Yen
● From April 1, 2018, we added Traders Securities
● From April 15, 2018, we added Traders Securities' Mexican Peso/Yen
● Turkish Lira/Yen is freely published. Other currency pairs are sold for a fee.
Why is the average swap important?
● Swap operations assume holding positions for an ultra-long term, so you need to select accounts and currency pairs that consistently provide good swap in the long run
● Even if you only look at days with a lot of swap on a single day (such as the 3x DAY, where three days' worth of swap is added in one day), it does not show true performance.
● Swap points are highly volatile due to policy rate changes and changes in the FX companies' service policies. By viewing swap points as a trend over time (rather than as discrete points), you can understand the swap trend.
