TradeManager - Balances

The TradeManager Balances tab displays the details of all financial activity that takes place in your TradeStation account. By default, the Balances tab is partitioned into sections, displaying all asset types simultaneously. The Account No drop-down list allows you to display a specific asset type (Equities/Options, Futures, or Forex), or specify a certain TradeStation account that you currently have open.  

The elements of the Balances tab

• Asset Type Column - Contains fields that are displayed in rows for the specific asset type.
• Account No Column - Contains values and other information that provides specific details related to the field in the row.
• Show/Hide   - Used in the Account No column for all account types, and in the Currency Column for Futures and Forex accounts. The show/hide buttons allows you to show or hide the details listed within the selected fields.
• Label Rows - Header rows that can be inserted with a customized name describing a group of fields.
• Expand/Collapse - Shows or hides the P/L breakdown by symbol for each asset type.
• Base Currency Column - Displays the total amount for the selected field, denominated in the base currency.
• Currency Columns - Displays the amount for the specific currency ledger. All currency columns within the account number totals to the base currency column. For Futures, the currency column only applies if you trade Futures symbols that are non-USD denominated, and applies to all Forex accounts.

Balance summaries are available for any Equities/Options, Futures, and Forex accounts that are active in TradeStation. For multiple accounts in an asset category, the balances for each account will display in a separate column.
