Hello, excuse my unknowledge, but ¿what you should do to have positive swaps in open positions??? My open positions always give negative swaps, shorts or longs. ¿there are brokers who give you this option??? Please, explain me this. I work EUR/USD with real account, looking GBP/USD iand USD/JPY in demo account. My real account is in USD basis.

The move to 1.57 was possibly an ABC as shown the Weekly. Any comments welcome.

Positive swaps is because you are trading currencies pair with a positive differential, for example, if you are Longing the AUDUSD means you demand AUD against the USD, @ AUD RBA interest rate at 2.5% per annum vs USFED <0.1% per annum, you gain a ~2.5% per annum on intrest holding long AUDUSD....

problem is with EURUSD , EUR at 0.25% and US at 0.1%, Brokers can be shady to put Cost on holding ur trade higher than the interest differential you gain on Majors....

I would recommend you do this to know if you would get positive swaps or not....
if you use MT4, right click one of the symbols on market watch, a drop down window comes up, press on SYMBOLS, then a window pops up and you see all the currencies, click on one currency and look in PROPERTIES, you will see each pair's Swap Long and Swap Short....

If I do this, now my broker gives me a negative swap to short GBP/USD about -2,6, and longs -0,2. Is this right? ¿the same for you now, or more or less???

True. When I was with TD Ameritrade I could be long EURUSD two days and one get a neg. swap and the other a positive swap. Then one had neg. swaps for both, and FXDD is neg for long, flat for short.
When the facts change I change my mind, what do you do sir
