The Open Trades Window

The “Open Trades” window contains information on every open position that one is holding. The information for each trade is presented on a separate line. In addition to the usual necessary information, there are several new categories introduced, including rollover, P/L, and $P/L. The P/L, or profit and loss, category shows the number of pips the trade is currently down or up.

If the trade is down, a minus sign will precede the number. The $ P/L records the total amount of U.S. dollars the trade is up or down with rollover charges included in the calculations. Rollover reflects the total amount of U.S. dollars the account has been charged or accumulated over the entire time the position has been held. If the account is earning interest, the Rollover column will show a negative amount.
