RoboForex Full Swap-Free 2026: Zero Overnight Fees on FX and Metals

RoboForex's Full Swap-Free removes the overnight swap, the financing charge or credit applied when you hold a position past the daily rollover. It covers currency pairs and metals, and you switch it on when you create a new trading account. RoboForex markets it as a way to hold positions for as long as you need without time pressure.

The service is offered by RoboForex Ltd, regulated by the Financial Services Commission of Belize under licence 9759600, and RoboForex says it may be unavailable in some regions.

Swap-free versus a regular account

RoboForex shows the swap-free option on its ProCent, Pro, Prime and ECN accounts, and on R StocksTrader, which it says offers more than 12,000 instruments. Check the account card in your Members Area for the instruments covered.

How to switch it on

1. Log in to the RoboForex Members Area.
2. Click “Add account”.
3. Select the Swap-Free option during setup.

The option only applies to accounts created with it. An account opened without swap-free status cannot be converted manually later, so decide before you open it.

What can cancel the status

• You must qualify under RoboForex's criteria; your status is shown on the Benefits page.
• It is meant for normal trading strategies. Using it mainly to profit from the absence of swaps can lead to disqualification.
• If you are disqualified, your accounts lose swap-free status and normal swaps apply to new and existing positions from that date.
• RoboForex can block you from reactivating it and can change the programme's terms with notice.

What a swap costs over time

Swap rates vary by instrument and change with interest rates, so this is an illustration only. Suppose a regular account charges $6 a night to hold one lot of a currency pair, with a triple charge once a week to cover the weekend. That is seven charges a week, so four weeks of holding comes to about 28 charges, or roughly $170 on a single lot. On a swap-free account the same position carries no overnight charge.

Swap-free versus Islamic accounts elsewhere

Many brokers offer swap-free accounts only on request, sometimes with an administration fee after a few nights. RoboForex advertises zero overnight fees with no hidden charges on its Full Swap-Free option, subject to qualification and its rules against abuse. Always compare the spread on a swap-free account with the standard one; a wider spread can cost more than the swap saved.

Who benefits most

Swing and position traders who hold currency or gold trades for days or weeks gain the most, since a regular account's swap compounds every night, and traders who avoid interest for religious reasons get an account without it. A day trader who closes everything before rollover saves nothing.

Key terms explained

• Swap: the overnight financing charged or paid when you hold a position past the daily rollover.
• Spread: the gap between the buy and sell price, and the main cost of a trade on commission-free accounts.
• Standard lot: 100,000 units of the base currency. A round turn means opening and closing one lot.
• Margin: the part of your equity set aside to keep positions open. More credit means more free margin before a margin call.

Who this offer suits

Full Swap-Free suits swing and position traders who hold currency or metal trades for days or weeks, and traders who avoid interest for religious reasons. It suits less day traders who close before the rollover and so pay no swap anyway.

Mistakes to avoid

The commonest error is opening an account first and trying to switch swap-free on later, which RoboForex doesn't allow. Another is using the account mainly to profit from the absence of swaps, which can cost you the status. Assuming every instrument is swap-free is the third.

Before you claim: a quick checklist

• Create a new account with the Swap-Free option.
• Check your status on the Benefits page.
• Confirm which instruments are covered.
• Compare spreads with a standard account.

Our verdict

RoboForex's Full Swap-Free is a genuine cost saving for anyone holding currency or metal positions over several nights, with no advertised replacement fee. Open the account with the option switched on, check the instruments covered, and trade normally to keep your status.
