Margin Analysis


The margin analysis window provides traders with real time information about their trading account, including:

Margin Analysis Screen 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: The total position, in US dollars, that your margin balance will allow you to put on. Does not reflect your current positions. Under normal market conditions, this is 50x 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.
