Calculating US500 Index Swap Rates in AUD
ST101:
Looking at MT4, Market Watch window, I see the US500 has a Swap Long of -7. How is this used to calculate the swap rate in dollars with an account in AUD? What are the calculation Steps? Thanks.

Swap Amount (AUD) = Swap Value (= -7 USD) * Number of Lots * Exchange Rate (USD/AUD)

As this value is set by the broker you have to ask them. I think it depends on the interests rates (and risk and ...) of the forex symbol.
