Important! When performing swaps using the arrow button in the Daily Operations section, the system uses existing swap rates. When performing swaps using the Make swaps button in the row of each individual swap in the Position Trades ➝ Swaps subsection, the swap rates (Close rate and Open rate) set in the pop-up window are used. In the fields Close quote amount and Open quote amount, you can specify the quoted amount of the instrument at the time of opening and closing the swap trade. swaps_2.png
