Disliked{quote} Hi all, interesting thread here that fits my opinion to not using SLs. ZebraSquirl, would you be so kind to tell me more about your using positive swap. I often have to close a trade cause swap eats me while waiting for a pair in loss to return..... How can one find out, which pairs swap is positive and which is negative? Thanks in advance. Keep on your good work here.Ignored

On the left, you'll see a field that says "RollS: .89"; on the right a field that says "RollB: -1.97". "RollS" refers to the rollover/swap charge if you sell the pair; "RollB" refers to the rollover/swap charge if you buy the pair. The swap for this pair on either the buy or the sell side is huge, especially if you compare it to a pair like EUR/USD (currently .06 on the sell/-.13 on the buy).
This is pretty much why I will only short EUR/NZD and GBP/NZD (which is going long Kiwi). A similar situation exists for AUD pairs, which I also will only go long AUD due to negative swap on the short side.
