 Hello

 

I would think some of thes eare fairly self-explanatory, but I'll have a stab:

Open positions	The current market value £ of all open trades
Book cost	how much you have spent/invested in shares currently
Profit / Loss	self-explanatory, the gain or loss on open positions
Funds	how much unused cash you have available to invest
Unsettled - credit	any monies owed to you
Unsettled - debit	any monies you owe
Reserved	if you have set a limit order the cash will be tied up here
Available to withdraw	the money you can immediately access
Total value	the total value of you account, so includes any positive or negative equity
