The compact 'Margin Structure' module displays only the most essential information:

  • Total Account Value (sum of your available cash and the current market value of your open positions)

  • Daily P&L for the selected account

  • Available funds (amount of cash available for trading)

  • Money Used for Margin to cover your positions, negative cash balances, and funds on hold

  • Position Margin for currently open positions

  • Order Margin - margin that is locked for orders with the following statuses: Pending, Placing, or Working (prior to their execution, cancellation, or rejection)

  • Funds on Hold (Blocked Funds) - refers to money that is locked due to active withdrawal requests or upcoming corporate actions (in rare cases). These funds are also included in the calculation of your Used Margin

The extended 'Margin Structure' appears when you drop the module into the middle section of the desktop platform.

In addition to all aforementioned data, it also displays detailed information concerning every instrument used on the account. To add or remove columns, click on the gear icon on the top-right corner of the module. It is possible to include the following data in your Margin structure:

  • Margin Type - Margin or Discount

  • Underlying - empty if inapplicable

  • CCY - the default currency of the instrument

  • Assets - the name of the instrument

  • Position Margin - for both the instrument and default currency

  • Order Margin and Concentration Margin - for both the instrument and the default currency

  • For Options, the expanded window also incorporates the possibility of displaying greeks

  • You can also choose between Packing all columns in the window, or enabling a Horizontal scroll

By default, the 'Margin Structure' module displays real-time data (like in Summary). Click on the calendar icon to select a custom period.

Tip: If you have more than 10 accounts, right-click on your account to open the 'Orders' module.
