Swap-free trading on weekends for Synthetic Indices

For traders who don’t clock off on Fridays, we’ve got good news — we have introduced swap-free weekends on all Synthetic Indices. 

That means you can keep your positions open over the weekend without incurring any overnight fees. Swap charges pause on Friday and only resume on Monday, giving you more flexibility, lower costs, and better control over your trading strategies.

Swap-free weekends apply to all Synthetic Indices on Deriv MT5 (Standard and Zero Spread accounts) and Deriv cTrader. 

Why swap-free trading matters for your strategy

Swap fees, also known as overnight charges, are a small cost for holding a position open across trading days. Without swap charges eating into your potential returns over the weekend, you can:

• Hold positions longer without additional costs
• Keep weekend strategies running as planned
• Focus on your trading goals without adjusting for weekend fees
• Benefit from lower trading costs overall
