- Long Charge for 1 week: - 3.25 x 7 = USD -22.75

تكلفة الاحتفاظ/الامتلاك طويل الأجل

In the context you provided, "Long Charge" refers to the cost incurred for holding a long position (buying an asset expecting its value to increase) over a certain period, typically calculated as a daily fee applied to the size of the position.

In the example you've given, the long charge for one week is calculated by multiplying the daily charge for holding the position (which is -3.25 in this case) by the number of days in a week (7). This results in a total charge of USD -22.75 for holding the position for one week.
