Trade example
Client opens a 10 contract trade in EURUSD at 1.10000, giving a notional value of $110,000. Client chooses to hold the position through to market close. At market close on Sunday the price is 1.10500, resulting in an unrealised profit of $500 ($110,500).

The position remained open at market close, it goes through the settlement process using the average of the midpoint price of the LMAX Global FX instruments between 17:10-17:30 EST/EDT on Sunday – therefore the settlement price is calculated as 1.10550.

Settlement price
The position is then closed at 1.10550, realising a profit of $550 on the account. close
