Hi,

I run live strategy on a demo account.
There are no orders in market.
Even so, the equity seen in the bottom left of the panel still changes every several seconds.
Not too much but it changes !! It should not change because there are no any kind of orders in market.
Even there is a small amount changed in the equity value I might suspect this is a bug and suddenly in future to see a
zero equity which means of course somekind of account blown up.
I took some captures at several seconds. Please, see attach.
Note the GMT time in the top right corner, the equity changing in the left bottom and there are no orders in market.

Hi again,
I am back after few hours with a new capture. See here and compare with the above ones: https://www.tektronic.ro/5.jpg

It appears I have just lost 5$ although no any order was placed on the market.
In this time I only opened charts and looked at them to see pairs movement. No any action.

This is a critical problem !! and I suppose it happens on a real live account also.
Any explanation ?

After an order has been closed it still will affect equity until after settlement, which universally occurs at 2300 gmt.
This is insane, but sadly, true.

Well:
1. the normal question is why I dont I earn 5$ instead to loose them until that settlement is done ? Currently I may expect loose 50% from the equity no ?
2. After I buy a TV set with full cash from the store at 10 AM why I should still pay for it until at 23 PM ?

I have the feeling the JForex with Dukascopy is not on the right way.

Please note that profits or losses in any other currency than the account currency are converted by the current conversion rate. This conversion rate is fixed at settlement.
