Hello,

I am using

MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_SWAPSHORT)

and

MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_SWAPLONG)

in order to get information about swap about one pair. But the number I get from those function are not much familiar to me. Can I change the result of those information unto interest values?

I've read about MODE_SWAPTYPE. However I have no clue how to set up its values in order to get the swap values as interest.

MODE_SWAPTYPE

Swap calculation method. 0 - in points; 1 - in the symbol base currency; 2 - by interest; 3 - in the margin currency.

Thank you so much,,,

Thanks phy,

But could you kindly modify this for something more generic. In my case, there is none OrderLots or TickValue I could use. Nevertheless, the interest in percentage is a constant. Is that constant that I am looking for. Values like those:

JPY lend interest 0.8
AUD borrow interest 6.45

I am trying to reach those kind of values through MT4.

Thanks again,,,

Thanks phy,

I am jut trying to change my broker. That's the why I am getting familiar with MT4. And I love it so far.

I just though that I could reach the nation's Interest for lending and borrowing through MT4 easily.

I still count with your kindly help.

Thanks a lot,,,
