What is Market Rollover?

Definition

Market rollover refers to the short period at the end of each trading day when open positions are carried over to the next trading day.

During this time, brokers process daily account updates, including swaps (overnight fees).

How it works

• Rollover typically occurs at 00:00 server time
• Any trades still open at this time are considered overnight positions

During rollover:

• Swaps are applied (charged or credited)
• Spreads may temporarily widen
• Liquidity may decrease, increasing volatility

Important Considerations

• Trade execution may be slower or experience slippage during rollover
• Stop Loss and Take Profit levels may be affected due to spread widening
• It is generally a low-liquidity period, so caution is advised

Key Points

• Happens daily at market close (00:00 server time)
• Applies only to open positions
• Involves swap charges or credits
• Can result in temporary market instability

Final Note

Understanding market rollover is important for managing overnight positions and avoiding unexpected costs or execution issues.
