I'm not trading the spot FX market, just the currency pairs futures. The negative swap doesn't apply to the futures contracts.

And I'm trading a much shorter time frame than you. I'm just swing trading for less than a day to a week or so.

Most of the time I'm only trading the Micro's. M6A, M6B and M6E. Nothing bigtime. Just trying to pick up some extra cash. Most of my trades are two or three contracts only. Every now and then, i get brave and do five at a time lol!

I do some index e-mini index futures too, the big three mainly. They move much quicker and have a much higher risk/reward than the FX futures.
