MT4/MT5 Swap Manager

MetaTrader calculates swaps using platform-defined rates tied to the symbol specification. Brokers cannot apply a different fee structure to specific accounts or groups without changing the symbol settings globally.

Swap Manager lets brokers override those defaults with their own rules. They can configure swaps with a fixed fee per trade, per lot, or as a markup on the default value. A fixed fee per trade charges a flat amount regardless of position size. A fixed fee per lot scales the charge with volume. A markup percentage adds a defined increment to the platform’s default swap value, leaving the base rate intact while capturing additional revenue. 

Swap Manager lets brokers specify a swap-free period for newly registered accounts, allowing a defined number of days during which swap charges do not apply. It removes several of the first swap charges as a kind of promo period for traders. Once the defined period has passed, swap fees are applied as configured in the standard settings.

Swap Manager supports two processing modes. In the first, swaps are applied to the position in the standard way. In the second, swaps are aggregated and processed as a balance operation with a custom comment. This makes it easier to present swap charges to clients in a clear and identifiable format, particularly when reconciling statements or handling multi-day accruals.

Beyond newly registered accounts, Swap Manager also supports swap-free periods scoped to new trades on specified symbols. When a trader opens a new position on a qualifying symbol, the swap-free period applies automatically for the configured number of days. Once the period ends, standard swap rules resume without requiring any manual action.

It is a server-side plugin for MetaTrader 4 and 5 that expands the platform’s native swap handling. It lets brokers set custom swap fee structures per symbol or account group, configure swap-free periods for newly registered accounts or new trades on specified symbols, and choose how swap charges are processed, either applied to the position or recorded as a separate balance transaction.

MetaTrader’s default setup applies platform-defined swap rates globally at the symbol level. Swap Manager adds rule-based fee configuration, supports swap-free periods with defined durations for specific accounts or symbols, and provides an alternative processing mode that records swaps as balance operations rather than position charges.
