As a forex trader you know that forex trade in pairs, for example you trade USD/JPY that mean’s buying a US dollar and sell JP Yen. So you pay for JPY and collect the USD.Technically, all positions are closed at the end of the day in the spot forex market. Brokers close and reopen your position, and then they debit/credit you the overnight interest rate difference between the two currencies.The amount of leverage available from forex brokers has made the carry trade very popular in the spot forex market. Forex trading is completely margin based, meaning you only have to put up a small amount of the position and you broker will put up the rest.
