More Information

A currency carry trade is a trading strategy in which the trader borrows a currency amount that has a relatively low interest rate and uses the funds thus acquired to lend another currency that has a higher interest rate.

By doing so, the trader is attempting to capture the price appreciation or depreciation in a currency while also profiting from the interest differential. Profits can be substantial, depending upon the leverage chosen by the trader.

The following calculator will give you the interest you'll pay or be paid with your trades. The interest is calculated based on the duration and the size of your position.
