On The5ers's MT5 server (FivePercentOnline-Real), JPN225 carries a swap of −10,800 points long / −9,000 points short. That is 0.17% of the index per night (63% a year) on longs and 52% a year even on shorts — about 11 times US30 on the same server (around 5% a year). On the site owner's $100K High Stakes funded account, holding a 500-lot long over one weekend cost $1,028.33, about 1% of the account. Support replied that the charge matches the symbol specification and cannot be corrected or refunded. If you hold the Nikkei overnight, don't do it at The5ers. Includes how to check swaps in MT5 and the formula to convert them to an annual rate.
