How does your EA calculate the interest carry charge ?

New comment
 

I would like to include the carry charge in my estimated profit/loss calculations. How can my EA get that information ? Is it available through a MarketInfo() call ?


Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks in advance.

Thanks, but I'm still confused... it didn't say anything about carry interest.


MODE_SWAPLONG 18 Swap of the long position.
MODE_SWAPSHORT 19 Swap of the short position.


Do these values give the carry interest if long or short ? If so, they didn't take ANY effort to say so :-)


Thanks again.

Yes

Swap, aka rollover, aka carry interest
