To see your actual, real-time currency balances, from the Account window in TWS or the Balances section of the Portfolio in IBKR Desktop, check the Total Cash and Settled Cash fields of the Market Value - Real FX Balance section.
Market Value - Real FX Balances
- Your account’s actual currency balances are shown in the Market Value – Real FX Balances section of the account window.
FX Portfolio - Virtual FX Position
- The FX Portfolio section displays your FX trading activity in currency pairs that is helpful for FX Traders as it allows tracking of a running P&L and average cost. But, it may also reflect “indirect” FX currency conversions designed to close out a non-base currency balance. This view MAY NOT reflect your actual cash balance in any currency. To manage actual currency positions, refer to the Market Value - Real FX Balances section of the account window.
