hey, it depends on your broker, but most likely no, it counts swap from friday to monday same way it would be counted from monday to tuesday.
Less is more.

A formula of calculating the swap, just in case, maybe it will be useful for somebody 😄:
Swap = –(Contract_Size * (Interest_Rate_Differential + Markup) / 100)/ Days_Per_Year
And i have a question: is it true that swap from Wednesday to Thursday is charged to the treble?🙄
