Carry Trade Monitor

The Carry Trade Monitor scans your Market Watch automatically and ranks every swap-paying pair by annualised carry yield. No symbols to configure, no interest rates to enter manually — attach it to any chart and the panel populates immediately.

How it works

For each pair found in Market Watch, the indicator reads the long and short overnight swap rates directly from the broker server. It converts raw swap ticks to an annualised yield basis and calculates net carry (long minus short) to produce a directional ranking. Pairs are sorted from highest positive carry to lowest, with the direction bias shown explicitly.

What the panel shows

• Rank by annualised carry yield
• Pair name
• Long swap / short swap rates
• Net carry (annualised)
• Directional bias: Long, Short, or Neutral

Parameters

• Minimum swap threshold — filters out near-zero carry pairs below this value
• Panel X / Y position — reposition on chart
• Rows — number of pairs to display
• Alert on swap change — notifies when a pair's carry shifts by a configurable percentage
