Hey Rocketman7,

Good catch man you are really paying attention to the platform which is good to see.

There are is always normally going to be 7 days worth of interest paid or received in any week. Normally it goes:

Monday 1 Days Worth
Tuesday 1 Days Worth
Wednesday 3 Days Worth
Thursday 1 Days Worth
Friday 1 Days Worth

The exception to the above is when there is a holiday and the banks are closed. In these cases the rollover schedule will be modified based on when trades settle in the country that is having a banking holiday.

To be upfront its pretty difficult for even me to keep up with how the roles change when there is a holiday so I use the below schedule which is updated every month from Dailyfx.com:

When they post the schedule for may it can be found in the lower right hand corner of the homepage of Dailyfx.com which is by the way a great site for free FX commentary.

Best Regards,
Dave
