"The zero leverage account Position Value may fluctuate around the account balance and this is due to the rates constantly changing, but I will do my best to keep it properly weighted."

I am too stupid to understand leveraged accounts, vs unleveraged accounts in FX. Your account value in the one account is 1K, but PV is 15K. I do not know which account that is, or why that matters, or whatever. Good juck in your jou...I mean, thread!

Thanks.
Both have $1,000 as starting balance. One has an open position value of just over $1,000 that one is zero leverage. The other has a position value of $15,000 that one is the x14 leverage.

Wait, I see it. At the top of the screencaps, you have the 14x lever account and the zero lever accounts.

Got it.

Well, damn, leveraging isn't making much of a difference at the moment. FX is weird that way I guess.

The x14 leverage is currently at a gain of about +2.25% The zero leverage account is up about +0.21%

But the unrealized P/L in the zero lever account shows a gain of about 30 cents. Shouldn't the levered account reflect that in the UnP/L bit x 14?

I entered into position with one account then minutes later the other, just by chance the values changed and they just happened to show the same P/L. Now they are vastly different.
