What determines how much cash is Available for Withdrawal in a Margin account?

CHECK YOUR CASH AVAILABLE FOR WITHDRAWAL

In addition, the funds available to withdraw must be settled from any clearing activity and have passed any applicable hold period.

If an account holds non-base currencies then those currency balances may also limit the amount of funds available to withdraw due to any related margin requirement. For more information, please see "Currency Margin Calculations for Withdrawals".
