Why is the average swap important?
● Swap operations are based on holding positions over a very long term, sowe need to select accounts and currency pairs that consistently yield good swaps over the long term
● On days when a large amount of swap points accrue in an instant, such as a 3x DAY (three days of swaps including weekend),looking at just those days does not reveal the true performance.
● Swap points are highly volatile due to changes in policy rates and the service policies of FX companies.Viewing swap points as a line rather than a point helps identify the swap trend
