Slippage is the difference between the expected price of a trade and the actual execution price, often occurring in volatile or low-liquidity markets. It can be positive (resulting in a better price) or negative (resulting in a worse price). Factors contributing to slippage include market volatility, low liquidity, and the type of order used (market orders are more prone to slippage than limit orders). To minimize slippage, traders can use limit orders, trade during high liquidity periods, and avoid trading during major news events.

A forex swap rate or rollover is defined as the overnight interest added or deducted for holding a position open overnight. Swap rates are determined by the overnight interest rate differential between the two currencies involved in the pair and whether the position is long or short.

Each currency pair has its own swap charge and is measured on a standard size of 1.0 lots (100,000 base units). Swaps are charged at triple the usual rate on Wednesday or Friday night, depending on the financial instrument. Commodities, Energy, Equity Indices, Equities, and Crypto pairs are charged on Friday night, and the rest of the offering is charged on Wednesday night.
