Account Window - FX Portfolio

This section shows activity only for currency pair trades. The "Position" value reflects the sum of trades executed in the FX market only, and consequently does not reflect a real-time FX position. Check the value in the Cash field of the Market Value section for real-time FX position information.

The following table defines the fields available for display in the FX Portfolio section.

Market Value	(Position) x (market price).

In the event of a margin deficiency in customer’s IB account, IB retains the right, in its sole discretion, to determine the assets to be liquidated, the amount of assets liquidated, as well as the order and manner of liquidation. Customers are encouraged to consult the IB Customer Agreement and the IB Disclosure of Risks of Margin Trading for further information.
