The brokers listed here have been reviewed for their support of swing trading, where holding periods typically last from two days to two weeks. Quality swing trading brokers must permit overnight and multi-day position holding without restrictive swap rates, allow stop loss and take profit orders that span five pips or more from market price, and provide margin rates of at least 1:30 for major forex pairs. Traders should review the broker’s swap fees, as excessively high overnight charges can erode gains on trades held longer than a day.
