Simple Dealing Rates Window

Brief

The article describes the Simple Dealing Rates window and its components.

Details

In the Simple Dealing Rates window, you can see dealing prices with additional information, such as margin requirements and the pip size. It is provided in the account currency for each symbol listed in the table.

• Symbol provides the list of subscribed symbols. For instructions on how to subscribe to or unsubscribe from a symbol, see the section Symbol List Window or Manage Symbol Subscription.
  Note: By default, full names of CFD Shares symbols are displayed in the Simple Dealing Rates window (and also in the Symbol List window and in the Manage Symbol Subscription dialog box), while ticker symbols are available in the tooltip. To change the name display to ticker symbols (with full names in the tooltip), on the System menu, click Options, in the left-hand panel of the dialog box that appears, under Trading Settings, click General Trading, and then, in the right-hand panel, under Name Display, click Ticker.
• Sell provides the sell (bid) price, that is, the price at which you can sell the symbol.
• Buy provides the buy (ask) price, that is, the price at which you can buy the symbol.
• Spread provides the difference between the buy price and the sell price.
• % Change provides the percentage of the symbol price change for a particular period. By default, the percentage of the symbol price change for today, that is, since the beginning of the current trading day, is displayed.
  Note: To change the period, on the System menu, click Options, in the left-hand panel of the dialog box that appears, under Trading Settings, click General Trading, and then, in the right-hand panel, under % Change Display, click a value of your choice: Yesterday to view the percentage of price change since the beginning of the previous trading day, Last Week or Last Month to view the percentage since the beginning of the current trading week or month, or 6 Month or 1 Year to view the percentage for the appropriate period. The default option value is Today.
  The tooltip to the values of the column provides values of the instrument price change percentage for all available periods:
  
  
  The column is displayed if supported by the server. Note that the column is unavailable in Simulation Mode.

Each of the % Change values is calculated using the following formula:

% Change = ((Current Sell - Prior Sell) / Prior Sell) * 100,

where:

Current Sell - the current sell price of the symbol 

Prior Sell - the sell price of the symbol at a certain point in time (specified in the % Change Display option)

The following values are possible as Prior Sell:

- Price at the beginning of the current trading day (Today)

- Price at the beginning of the previous trading day (Yesterday)

- Last price of the last trading day of the previous trading week (Last Week)

- Last price of the last trading day of the previous calendar month (Last Month)

- Price at the start of the trading day 180 days ago (Today - 180 days) (6 Month)

- Price at the start of the trading day 365 days ago (Today - 365 days) (1 Year)

• High provides the highest ask price since the beginning of the current trading day.
• Low provides the lowest bid price since the beginning of the current trading day.
• Roll S and Roll B stand for Interest Rate Sell and Interest Rate Buy. These are the amounts in the account currency per lot that you pay/receive for positions that at the end of a trading day automatically roll over to the next settlement date. If you have no open positions at this time, even though you executed transactions during the previous 24 hours, there can be no rollover of positions.
  In the Roll S column:
  You can see the rollover value of one lot of a sell position. If the number is positive, the amount is to be received by the trader. If the number is negative, the amount is to be paid by the trader.
  In the Roll B column:
  You can see the rollover value of one lot of a buy position. If the number is positive, the amount is to be received by the trader. If the number is negative, the amount is to be paid by the trader.
  Note: By default, the rollover values are displayed for the account Base Unit Size (or lot size) of 1K. To change the size, on the System menu, click Options, in the left-hand panel of the dialog box that appears, under Trading Settings, click General Trading, and then, in the right-hand panel, under Rollover Display, click a value of your choice.
• Div S and Div B stand for Dividends for Sell and Dividends for Buy. Dividends are a cash distribution of a part of a company's earnings to its shareholders. The amount of dividend a company pays is decided by the company's board of director's. The long position will receive a dividend payment net of tax during the companies ex- dividend date. The short position will pay a dividend payment net of tax during the companies ex- dividend date.
• Pip Cost provides the pip value in the account currency for each symbol in the real time mode.
  For example, all the symbols the second part of which is USD, that is EUR/USD, AUD/USD, GBP/USD, NZD/USD have a fixed pip value of $10 for the USD Standart accounts, and $1 for the USD Mini accounts. All the other symbols have a fluctuating pip value.
• Commission provides the estimated amount of the commission to be charged for a one lot position round turn (open and close). The commission is expressed in the account currency.
  
  
  
  Note that more than one commission can be applied to the symbol at a time. In this case the tooltip provides information about each commission to be charged.
  
  
  
  The column can be hidden if no commission is applicable to the account.
  For details, see the Trading Commissions section.
• MMR provides the margin value required to open a one lot position. It is provided in the account currency.
• Time provides the time when an exchange rate changed for the last time. The used time format is displayed in the status bar.
