Hi there,

The book cost is the actual cost of buying the shares at the time you bought them.

The market value is the value of the shares there and then at that point in time.

 

Say you bought 100 shares at 200p per share. Your book cost is 100 x 200p = 20000p a.k.a £200

Say the market then goes to 250p per share. Your book cost is still £200 (as the price you paid for the stock hasn't changed), but the market value is now £250

 

I hope this clarifies things but let me know if I can help further.

    • I've developed an initial version of a market sentiment checker, which utilizes the concept of weighted log returns to gauge the mood of the financial markets. This tool is designed to simplify the complex task of assessing market sentiment by analyzing fluctuations in price data. By applying weights to log returns, it emphasizes the significance of certain data points over others, offering a more nuanced view of market dynamics. This approach allows for a fundamental analysis of market sentiment and provides insights into the current state of the market at any given moment. It serves as a valuable tool for investors and traders looking to make informed decisions based on the underlying sentiment driving market movements. sentiment-sleuth - Github Link

    • Swap Rate: Check the swap rates for your open positions. Overnight loans are calculated based on the difference between the interest rates of a currency pair, and if the difference is small or negative, you will not receive a loan.
