We connected to 4 MT5 accounts we operate and recorded symbol information repeatedly from 2026-08-14 to 2026-08-27 (14 days, 443,814 records). The numbers below come from that log. Brokers change swap rates without notice, so this is a record of what the values were and when, not a conclusion about which broker is better.

How the values moved during the period (measured)
Over 14 days, the value moved on 133 of 194 symbol rows. "Moved" here does not only mean a rate revision: it also covers the triple swap day substitution and changes within the same day. Calling all of them revisions would be inaccurate, so we report only what was observed: the range, how many times it moved, and how many days were observed.
The table below counts, per account, the symbols whose value changed within the same day. Official tables show only the current value, so this movement cannot be read from them.
| Broker | Symbols that changed within a day |
|---|---|
| OANDA | 40 / 41 |
| Exness Technologies | 41 / 48 |
| HF Markets (HFM) | 29 / 61 |
| Tradexfin (XMTrading) | 8 / 44 |
| Pair | Broker | Observed range (long / short) | Times the value moved | Days observed |

| EURJPY | OANDA | 1.2〜5.07 / -37.06〜-12.16 | 13 | 12 |
| EURUSD | OANDA | -20.19〜-5.93 / 1.92〜10.47 | 13 | 12 |

How this was measured
- Recorded via MT5 symbol_info by connecting to each account. Broker published tables were not used.
- Amounts are computed as swap value x point x contract size, shown in the account profit currency.
- Multiple records in the same period are reduced with the median, so a single outlier does not move the number.
Limits of these numbers
- Brokers change swap rates without notice. This table is the value at the time of recording.
- MT5 swap units differ by broker configuration. Amounts are shown only where conversion is unambiguous; other rows leave the amount blank.
- The same broker can differ by account type and server. Server names are shown per row.
- Rows in different currencies are not summed (JPY and USD amounts cannot be added).
