Beginning Day Account Net Worth (Balances Row)

The total amount of equity with which you started the current trading day. Account Net Worth is calculated by the sum of the beginning day cash balance for your account and the market value of all positions brought into the current trading day (those that were held overnight) minus the outstanding margin debit balance for the account at the start of the current trading day.

  • Beginning Day Account Net Worth = (Cash balance) + (Long market value) + (Short Credit) - (Margin Debit) + (Short Market Value)

  This value remains static throughout the entire trading day.
