If it is negative number than client pays company fee for each 10 000 lot of base currency. This amount depends on currency pair and side of the deal (buy position or sell position). (Please check out our current swaps table for mini forex).  Swap rate (how much is paid for one lot) in Dealing Desk system depends on interbank interest rates.

Comm - commission. From 01.07.05 High Street Networking takes no commission

Realized PL – total result of closed trades (trader’s profit or loss) for the period. This amount equals to Total P/L column in Settled Trades window for the same period.

CurrBalance – Customer’s current account balance on the end of the period taking into consideration initial deposit and results of all closed trades for the period. CurrBalance = BegBalance + Realized PL +/- Interest.

UnrealizedPL – Total current profit/loss of opened positions taking into consideration current forex rates in on-line mode. This value is equal to sum of current profit/loss for all opened trades (Total P/L column in Opened trades window).

Equity   - Account status taking into consideration current balance and results of all opened positions. Equity = CurrBalance + Unrealized PL.

UsedMargin –  The amount of money reserved for possible losses. Each minimum opened lot (10 000 of base currency) requires $50 of "Used margin".  Thus, the "Used margin" column shows the amount of funds reserved for current positions maintenance.

FreeMargin – Money amount, that may be used by a trader as a reserve (margin) for opening new trades. Usable margin = Equity - Used margin. It is counted automatically in the real-time mode taking into consideration current forex quotes. This amount is also a maximum value that trader can withdraw from his account without closing any positions. If the value in this column will drop below zero all opened positions would be closed automatically by the system as a result of so called “margin call”. Margin call is situation when trader have insufficient funds (reserve) for opened position maintenance.

Values in UnrealizedPL, Equity, FreeMargin columns are changed with every new market quote arrival if there are opened trades on the account.

Values in all other columns of the table are changed after making a deal.
