I thought I knew about how to apply swap points as it's presented here : http://www.eforex-asia.com/swap_rates.html Now with this new MODE_SWAPTYPE, i'm not so sure... thought it was only one kind
of representation for data retrieved with MODE_SWAPLONG and MODE_SWAPSHORT. I'd
appreciate to see some formulas and examples for each of them so I could use them
properly...

One of the servers, on which the client terminals and Expert Advisors of the Championship Participants are working, failed last Saturday. For this reason 20 Expert Advisors did not work on Monday. All Expert Advisors have become able to continue their competition by 12 a.m. on Tuesday. |

Now, perhaps I didn't made myself understood... I read the documentation. I just
didn't understood. The problem is distinction between 0 and 1 (in our EAs). I guess
both methods return swap points. Normally, if base currency is USD, there should
be no difference between results. I guess that in the case base currency would
be EUR, the results would be already divided to EURUSD rate (for the 1 case)...
Probably when the value is 2 the interest is gained in the currency bought in a
trade and converted at paytime in account currency. But these are just my guesses.
.. And there shouldn't be place to guess when you're programming an EA and must
know exactly what a function returns...

Calculation method is applied on the server (or tester) side. Calculated swaps are presented in deposit currency |

Ok Stringo, so the server should do the magic and me getting results in "deposit
currency". For example InterbankFX MarketInfo("EURUSDm",MODE_SWAPTYPE)
returns 2 so these should be interest rates. We have, when applying MarketInfo
with MODE_SWAPLONG and MODE_SWAPSHORT. EURUSD -0.8650 0.72 USDJPY 1.30 -1.46 USDCHF
0.99 -1.15 EURCHF 0.55 -0.63 and the list goes on... What they have on website
at http://www.interbankfx.com/swap_rates.php is very very different... I just wanted a formula to convert results from what
I get out of MarketInfo into what they displayed (or around there, cause swap points
are marginally affected by forex rates fluctuations)

Use OrderSwap() function to get really calculated swaps. |

Just as side topic, on FXDD , MarketInfo("EURUSD",MODE_SWAPTYPE) returns 3...and that's not one of the standard
values

It is non-standard value. They calculate swaps by their own way |

Well, as providers of the platform you should have forbid them to do anything that
could damage the MetaTrader's reputation...
