"Bitcoinica Buy Apy" is what you'd get per year for an idle deposit. Currently this is 0% for BTC and 7.41% for USD.
"Daily Pip" is in units of 0.01% per day.
"Bitcoinica sell" is what you pay for a "negative balance". Eg, if you buy bitcoins on margin, you have to pay the USD Bitcoinica sell Apy.

So on a 36USD balance I will make 0.0072 dollars a day? :/
Thanks though! :)
