I noticed some unexpected account balance change, I don't know whether this comes from FXCM or SC.

Here's the account balance window with no open positions:
The account value shows 999979.12

Let's buy 1K EUR/USD at the market:
Now the account value is 1000005.12

Now let's close the position at the market:
Now the account value is again 999978.76

It doesn't matter if I buy CFD or a forex pair, the AV still gets increased. It also doesn't matter if I open a long or short position, the AV still goes up. AFAIK, if I'm short I should see the increased AV, but why the AV gets bigger when I get long?
