Margin Report
Instructions
You can see real-time margin summary amounts displayed in the Trader Workstation Account window. For position margin requirements, however, margin reports are available in Portal.
Each day, margin reports record your margin and equity information for positions across all asset classes and exchanges as of 16:15 ET.
The reports show the margin requirements for all open single and combination positions. They display Available Funds (to determine whether you can put on a new trade) and Excess Liquidity (when excess is depleted, you risk liquidation). Note that the information in your margin report may be different from that displayed on your statements because information on your statements is "as of" the cut-off time for each individual exchange.
Margin reports in Portal are the only place where you can view the margin requirements for combination/spread positions. Th
are available for the previous 180 days.
