So it looks like your closed P/l would need to be divided by 10 to give you true results on a mini account. Plus I didn't see the "m" after the symbols on the statement that identify it as a mini account.



Bummer. I was getting excited!
No fxgrm, in a micro/mini account, a 10 pip move against me at 0.17 lot would have cost me $17, which is what you see in my statement. If it was a standard account, this would translate to $170.

When you see the "m" attached to the currency pairs, it is identifying that the account is a micro account, not mini or standard.

But regardless, a 12% gain is a 12% gain, no matter the type of account. So feel free to get excited again

Hope this helps.
