Go straight to the list of swap rates
In simple terms Forex Rollover or otherwise known as swaps is the interest paid to you or paid by you for holding a position overnight. Each world currency has an interest rate connected to it. So this means that when a position is left open till the next day, it attracts interests irrespective of when it was opened. This should not be an issue for short-term traders and scalpers, but for long term traders it is definitely an issue.

NB
Swaps are valued in pips/lots, and may be adjusted daily based on market conditions, and rates provided by Liquidity Providers applicable to all open positions. Some brokers double or triple their swaps on certain day(s) of the week. For example HotForex applies Triple Swaps on Wednesday of each week.
So when choosing a broker consider their swap rate. Wish you a successful trading.
