What's the difference between an intraday and overnight position?

What is the difference between an “intraday” and “overnight position”?

Answer #1

Hi,

In the foreign exchange market (Forex), intraday positions are all positions opened anytime during the 24 hour period AFTER the close of FX’s normal trading hours at 4:30pm EST. Overnight positions are positions that are still on at the end of normal trading hours (4:30pm EST), which are automatically rolled by FX at competitive rates (based on the currencies interest rate differentials) to the next day’s price.

Hope that helps.
