Topic: Is Swap included in profit calculation in FSB Pro?

Hi,

I'm new to the forum and recently purchased FSB Pro optimal pack. I find the software interesting so far and have generated strategies with good equity lines.

My strategies are low frequency and can trade for only 3 times in a month, holding the positions for up to 2 weeks. I just want to confirm whether Swap Long and Swap Short are included in profit calculation for positions held for more than 1 day. I looked at trade journal but couldn't see any clear indication.

Could someone please help me confirm or point me to the place where I can see it?

Apologies in advance if this is something obvious which I missed.

Thanks,
Ossai

FSB Pro charges swap on position transfer.

You can check the settings in the Symbols page.

Thanks Popov. I already imported all the symbol settings from my broker.

I get it now. I was looking for the swaps in the trade journal under the "Rollover" column, however from your explanation the swap is already accounted for in the "Position Price", including the spreads and any price averaging. Thanks again.

And this is the trade journal, the rollover column is blank

You will see the exact swap amount when you switch the "Journal with transfers". On the other hand, the default journal hides rollovers in order to present more deals.
