Positive and Negative Intrest

Hi,

Just a quick question. Why in VT Trader do you get both positive and negative intrest on your trades?

Many thanks,

You dont.

If you have a look at the Dealing Rates Window, It will tell you the Interest Rate, positive and negative, for the Pairs If you BUY OR If you SELL.
Not both.

UK has a Higher Interest Rate than Japan. If you Buy GBP/JPY you will be paid the Difference {less a cut of course} between the two rates.
If you Sell GBP/JPY you will be Charged Interest accordingly.

Very simplified explanation but hth.
