MetaTrader 5 differs from MetaTrader 4 in that it does not have two types of reports (usual and detailed). The MetaTrader 5 trading report is like a detailed MetaTrader 4 report.
The components of a standard report:
- Balance: Total financial result of all completed trading and non-trading transactions (deposits, withdrawals) on the trading account at the time the report is generated.
- Credit Facility: Available credit.
- Floating P/L: Total floating profits and losses on all transactions open on a client's account at the time the report is generated.
- Equity: The equity level at the moment the statement was generated (Balance + Credit + Floating profit - Floating loss).
- Free Margin: Funds available to open a new position at the time the report is generated (Free Margin = Equity - Margin).
- Margin: Total margin for all open transactions at the time the report is generated.
- Margin Level: Ratio of Equity to Margin expressed as a percentage.
