Swap

Was having this conversation with Rookie trader this morning.

What is a Swap?
I never pay attention to my Sifu when I started learning Forex, and actually, I never though I would be trading Forex... so the novice trader came to search for more information on Swap.

When I search for "Swap" at my broker (FXCM) website, I found
"Rollover" instead of swap.
I am not sure whether they mean the same thing.

I went to Forex Yard and search Swap
www.forexyard.com/en/glossary

Swap - A currency swap is the simultaneous sale and purchase of the same amount of a given currency at a forward exchange rate.

And honestly I also found a list of swap rate here...
