Standard and extended swap-frees
Swap-free accounts are available at two levels to non-Islamic countries: standard or extended. The difference is the amount of trading instruments with zero swap. Extended swap-free is offered by default, with trading activity determining whether an account becomes standard or remains extended. To maintain extended swap-free status, you need to trade mostly within the day and hold a low amount of overnight positions.
Swap-free status applies to the entire Personal Area; in other words, all trading accounts and account types will have the swap-free status if your Versus Trade account is swap-free.
Specific instruments are considered swap-free under standard and/or extended levels (see below); for all other trading instruments, swaps are applied.

Swap-free for Islamic countries
Versus Trade accounts registered from Islamic countries are assigned swap-free status automatically. This swap-free status ensures that swap is never applied to orders open overnight.
