The summary window of the FXCM Trading Station gives traders an overview of the average entry price and profit or loss for each currency pair traded.

Included in the Summary window from left to right is:

Currency
The Summary window sorts all open positions by currency pair rather than ticket number.
When you have multiple positions open for the same currency pair, the Summary window will automatically compound these individual trades.
This allows multiple tickets of the same currency pairs to be grouped together to display information regarding average open price and net P/L.

P/L (Sell)
The profit/loss (P/L) for each currency pair is tracked in real time in U.S. dollars.  For short (Sell) positions, the "P/L Sell" column shows the profit/loss of the trade in U.S. dollars. A minus in front of the “P/L” and “Gross P/L” indicates the position has lost value.

P/L (Buy)
For long (Buy) positions, the "P/L Buy" column shows the profit/loss of the trade in U.S. dollars.  A minus in front of the "P/L" and "Gross P/L" indicates the position has lost value.

Amt S (K) and Amt B (K)
This is the cumulative size of all open positions in the currency pair.

The "Amt S (K)" column displays the number of lots you are currently short for a given currency pair.

The "Amt B (K)" column displays the number of lots you are currently long for a given currency pair.

• 1 lot in the standard account is 100,000 units of the base currency.
• 1 lot in the Mini account is 10,000 units of the base currency.
• "100" in the Amt K column represents 100,000 units of currency (or 1 lot) in the standard 100K account.

Please remove this and you may need to switch some of the surrounding content since it is in fact possible to be both long and short the same pair at the same time when you are hedging a trade:

• "Amt S (K)" column (for short positions)
• "P/L Buy" column (for long positions).

Sell and Buy

• The "Sell" column shows the current, real-time sell price for the currency pair in which you are short.
• The "Buy" column shows the current, real-time buy price for the currency pair in which you are long.

This is the price at which you could immediately add to a current long position.
