What's the formula of calculating swap?

Information for WTI shows the short swap is 1.1, I guess it's charged per lot 1000 Barrels.
I caculate the swap of shorting 20 Barrels: 1.1*20/1000 = 0.022 but the position shows me that the swap is 0.22
As something goes wrong, how to calculate it?

Swap and risk management
Swap is not really a reality until it is actually carried out. If there is a history of swap it can maybe be calculated based on that history. Still as "huguh" says there are so many parameters that need to be filled to be able to do that. Regarding risk management, it is of interest and should be included if positions are in place. Market Order 3.0 has swap included in the overall risk management and more information and download can be had at this link: Market Order 3.0

I cant answer your question, but I think swap is more complicated than that. I dont think thats precisely a formula for it. It envolves other variants, some kind of interest over night, something like that, I dont know...
