What are the various sections and figures in my Account Window?

The Account screen is divided into the following sections:

  • Balances, which shows your account balances for securities, commodities and in total. These balances do not include margin requirements.
  • Margin Requirements, which shows your current initial and maintenance margin requirements based on your current positions. Customers under the Reg T margin model can compare their current margin to current projected requirements under the Portfolio Margin model by clicking the Try PM icon.
  • Available for Trading, which tells you what you have for additional trades and cushion before liquidation, based on your balance information and margin requirements.
  • Market Value - Real FX Position, which shows the total value of all positions, sorted by currency.
  • FX Portfolio - Virtual FX Position, which shows activity for currency pair trades only. The value in the Position field only reflects trades executed in the FX market. Please note that these may not reflect real-time FX positions, since non-base currency conversions may also be included.
  • Portfolio, which lists all current positions sorted by underlying, and displays the total current market value for each position.

To view all available values, you can expand each section using the green plus (+) sign next to the section header. To customize this view to show only the values you want to see, put a check next to these parameters and click the green minus (-) sign to contract the section.
