Is the swap calculated during backtesting in MetaTrader 5?

Is the swap calculated during backtesting (by ontester section) in MetaTrader5 ? And does it calculate correctly? That is, does it calculate the swap for each day, or does it use a fixed swap rate? If Yes , I don't see it in the report.  I tried it in both cases: Every tick and Every tick based on real ticks.

It calculates the swap as per specfication in the symbol. If the symbol has zero swap, no swap will be charged. This depends on your broker. 

Is the swap calculated correctly? No. The current day swap is used to for the entire backtest. That is, if you have a hundred year test, the swap rates of today are charged a century ago.

Thank you. So I think it is better to calculate the swap by mql5(if it's possible).
