Tomorrow-Next

An FX swap that rolls a position from tomorrow to the next business day.

Quick answer

Tomorrow-next is the swap that rolls a forex position from tomorrow to the next business day.

Definition

Tomorrow-next, or tom-next, is a swap that rolls a forex position from its value tomorrow to the next business day. It is the standard way open positions are carried overnight and is where the daily swap or rollover charge appears.

How It Works

  • It is how positions are carried overnight
  • The daily swap charge appears here
  • It settles the interest cost of holding

Trading Tips

1

Check the tom-next rate before holding a position

2

Factor the swap into overnight trade cost

3

Expect it to differ by pair and direction

Tomorrow-Next Example

Say your EUR/USD long rolls Wednesday night. The desk closes spot value Friday and reopens value Monday through tom-next, with the weekend triple swap landing in one line. The position never blinks. The calendar does the work.

How Traders Use Tomorrow-Next

Ignore tom-next mechanics daily but understand the Wednesday triple so statements stop surprising you. Long-term holders should track cumulative roll cost quarterly: it silently decides carry trades.
