Now, ....why would today's swap show up on a report generated for the last week. The open trade that I am in today, has nothing to do with trades from lastweek. Go back and reread my long post, look at the statements and pay particular attention to the open trade line, the ticket number, date trade opened and price close amount.
Swaps are paid buy trader if you have position overnight.
You have had this position over the weekend.
So on monday broker 'kind of closed your friday position charged you swap money and reopened same position for you with you settings of TP and SL but with new date(open on monday).
So it is like broker doesn't want to wait for you to close your position but he wants to cash in his swaps after the weekend.It maybe even more expensive to keep positon over weekend then overnight
it is called swap actually it maybe roollover..........

Hi Corner,
Thank you for your excellent explanation of swap, or rollover, carry. I guess what is being missed in my point is not the the swap issue. The issue I discovered and am trying to convey is when I generated a report for the last week of November 12th-17th, I did so on just after market close on the 17th. I did have one trade floating at that time....no biggy it is the correct one.
See statement Green_report- Open trades - Ticket number: 15818007
When I generated the same report for November 12th-17th on November 21st, all the closed trades were correct, except for the open trade ( swap, rollover). The open trade I had for this current week was showing in the report for the last week. That open trade never happened between the dates of November12th-17th. That trade opened on November 21st. Follow the trades on a calander and you will see that in the incorrect report, Ticket number 15926158 that trade could have not happened during the dates of november 12th-17th. It was in the future but found it’s way into last weeks report
See statement Orange_report.htm - Open trades - Ticket number 15926158
The differance between the correct and alleged trade is not great in this case, but does in fact affect the pip count and account balance.....possibly by a greater +/- amount if the trade was more extreme.
Note the differances in account balance for both statements Balance: 50,525.31 and 50,694.00
This would indicate that an accurate weekly report must be generated during market at the close for the week, or during the weekend while the market is closed.
If you wait and generate a report the following week, while you have an open trade it will place the wrong open trade info into the past weeks history. Thus you get a semi accurate report worth garbage.
To better help everyone understand I colored the above referances and the reports below. I can't stress anymore than this that these are the same reports but created at different times with different balance amounts.
green is for the correct open trade/balance information
The color orange is for the same report with the wrong open trade/balance information
I guess my question still stands, ….is this a localized issue with IBFX’s MT4 V. 198 …….or does this issue spread across all MT4? It may be worth looking at…..do you think?
Any questions or clarification feel free to PM me or email psnw@hotmail.com
i am really new to phoenix and now i am running to demo testing real time on 15mins timeframe with phoenix 5.6.03 version with interbank and mig demo server. I have discovered that even though both using default setting, they came out different positions, and the best performance is interbank(which i do not prefer as their pips spread is 3pips compared to mig only 2 pips) Do you guys having same results like me? is the selecting of brokers very important? until now which is the best performance and my concern is even though it performs well in demo, i believe real account server will be much different compare to the demo server. How should we overcome this?thank you.
I have make a little statistics tool based on the optimisation tool result of metatrader. You can see the best profit with parmeters and profit on Phoenix_5_6_03.mq4.

Well... sometime I don't understand (had you ?!?!) how P5 "think"...
To go long on us/jpy on Thusrday = ??? We saw what happened...
Or have we, as Hendrick seem to suggest it in his last post, that we have to ACT when we "see" how are the things ???
