Account settings

The Account settings dialog box allows you to set the parameters of your virtual account.

• Account Currency - this is the currency of your virtual bank account. Statistics and the balance chart will be displayed in this currency;
• Initial Account - this shows the initial sum available in your virtual account;
• Lot Size - this shows what the smallest sum you can trade is. (You can trade more than one lots);
• Leverage - this shows the correlation between the traded sum and the required margin;
• Account Exchange Rate - you can use it to convert the trading result from the trading currency into your account's currency. If you are trading EURUSD and your account is in USD, no conversion is necessary because the profit or loss you have made is in USD. If your account is in EUR, FSB uses the Bar Close price of each bar to calculate the result from the trading you have done in USD. If you are trading USDJPY and your account is in EUR, FSB uses a fixed exchange rate.
