A swap is a difference in the interest rates of the currencies to be traded. For example, the USDJPY swap is based on the difference in interest rates of USD and JPY. Swaps are either paid or earned. Typically, you will be charged when you hold a short (sell) position in the currency with the higher interest rate, and credited when you hold a long (buy) position in the currency with the higher interest rate.
