Automatically Maintain Margin Balance with Additional Cash Setting

This setting changes how Tamarac Trading handles negative cash in the account. If you select Yes, Tamarac Trading will allow the account to hold a negative cash balance. If you select No, Tamarac Trading will not allow the account to hold a negative cash balance, and will recommend trades to raise cash during a rebalance.

If you upload a negative cash position and Automatically Maintain Margin Balance with Additional Cash is set to Yes, Tamarac Trading adds an Additional Cash amount to bring the account's initial cash balance to $0.

Accounts set to Yes typically should not have a cash reserve.
