    When, if, you earn interest say going long the AUD/USD. How is interest paid and how long do you need to hold a currency to start accruing interest? Thanks.
     
  2. As far as I am aware it's calculated daily and appears in the statement under interest. They have a section on their site that describes the interest payments, apparently there needs to be greater than $10 000 in the relevant currency.
