Margin Analysis
The margin analysis window provides traders with real time information about their trading account, including:
Account Balance: The sum of all deposits, interest income, and realized gains less all withdrawals, realized losses, and incidental fees. Account Balance equals posted margin + excess margin deposit.
Realized Gain/Loss: The net (sum of all gains and losses) P&L on positions that have been closed out today. At the end of the business day (1700 ET), all realized Gains/Losses are posted to the client's account balance.
Unrealized Gain/Loss: The net P&L of all open positions, calculated at the current rates offered. This amount changes as the rates fluctuate.
Margin Balance: Represents Account Balance plus the sum total of current realized and unrealized gains/losses.
Total Available Position: Total buying power, in US dollars, based on your existing margin balance and available leverage. For example, at 1% margin, your available position is equal to 100x your current margin balance.
Open Position: The total USD value of all open positions.
Max Deal Available: Total available position less the current gross position. This is the amount available for new trades.
