Finres in CScalp looks like this
- Wallet - selected wallet on the connected platform;
- Currency – name of the currency which has been used in trading;
- Result – the financial result on the platform, before the reset is done. It is considered as "funds - the start funds";
- Fee – exchange's fee for completed trading operations;
- Assets – available funds for completed trading operations. It is considered as "available + blocked";
- Available – the available amount of funds for making trades, including the reservation amount;
- Blocked – the reserved amount of funds for open positions and placed limit orders.
Due to possible small values of profit per trade and high accuracy of values (for example, Finres = 0.00000001), several decimal places are displayed. The tooltip shows the exact value when you hover the mouse over it.
