Here we will look at how to check your balance information on MT4/MT5.

Switch between MT4/MT5 tabs to check the steps for each.

If there's a swap, it'll be included in the P/L. If the account charges fees, the round-trip fee will be deducted when closing your position in MT4, so it'll be included in the floating P/L until then. In MT5, the one-way transaction fee will be deducted from your balance when entering your position, so it won't be included in the floating P/L.
