DislikedI thought that is what is confusing you.
This is just how they do it, every day at 21/22 GMT they make your daily statement and all your open positions are shown as if they are closed at the time the calculation is made.
So if at 21/22 gmt you have an open position that has unrealized loss it will be shown at your statement as a daily loss.
But the next day, or as soon as you notice they have done the settlement, check you portfolio statement again and it will be showing you the extra profit, which will balance out the yesterday's loss and will...Ignored
Example, I have an open position for 5 days and the first day it is down 100 pips. Next four days, the pair remains the same, but it sounds like Dukas will record it after 5 days as a 500 pip loss and make your balance reflect that. Did I get that right?
What I am trying to get as, "where" would my real balance be, because on the portfolio statement, they deduct the swaps and commission, so those are real deductions off your balance.
