Rollover is the process of extending the settlement date of an open position to the next trading day. In forex, spot trades have a T+2 settlement date, so positions held overnight are automatically rolled over. A swap fee (interest rate differential) is charged or credited during rollover, typically at 5:00 PM New York time. Wednesday carries a triple swap to account for the weekend.
You hold a long EUR/USD position overnight. At 5:00 PM New York time, the broker rolls the position over to the next day and charges a swap fee of $2.30. On Wednesday night, the fee is tripled to $6.90 to cover Saturday and Sunday.
