Account Summary terms:
| Available
Cash |
Amount of cash in your account
available for trading. |
| Withheld
Cash |
Amount of cash reserved as
collateral for any stocks you have sold short. Our system
requires 50% collateral for the initial short sale value. |
| Short
Sales |
Cash from any short sales
you placed. The brokerage holds this cash in a special
account until you cover your short sale. |
| Commission |
Most brokerages charge a
fee, ranging from $3.00 - $50.00, for each trade (buy
or sell) you make. Our system lets you set your desired
commission level. |
Why are my shares negative? Short-sold stocks show
up as negative values because you are obligated to buy back
those shares from the market and return them to the brokerage.
