Cash for Trading or Cash to Raise Fields (Accounts)

The Cash for Trading or Cash to Raise fields are read-only fields that give you a calculation of what actions need to be taken in the account to address cash needs. The field name changes based on whether Tamarac Trading has calculated that there is excess cash in the account that can be put back into the market or if there needs to be cash raised to meet the stated cash needs for the account.

If the account has cash in excess of any cash reserves, you'll see Cash for Trading at the bottom, along with the amount available to trade, calculated as Total Beginning Cash – Total Cash Reserve.

If the account needs to raise cash to meet cash reserves, you'll see Cash to Raise at the bottom, along with the amount needed to raise, calculated as Total Beginning Cash – Total Cash Reserve.
