A swap/rollover fee is charged when you keep a position open overnight. A forex swap is the interest rate differential between the two currencies of the pair you are trading, and it is calculated according to whether your position is long or short.

Swap is charge or interest which your broker charges or pays you for holding trading positions overnight to the next forex trading day.

Swap fee is charged on keeping the position open for overnight. It is based on the interest rate differential. Swap calculators are given by the brokers on their websites. It's better not to keep your position open for overnight to avoid swap charges.

It is an overnight charge if you hold a position. I prefer swapfree account because of that.
