I have several doubts about the Cash Value column.
First, I can see that in case of the SIM101 account the value is only updated when a position is open or closed. I also can see that the amount only considers the value of losing positions when these are closed. So, the value of Cash is only realistic when all positions are closed. Is there a way to avoid this.
Second, in the case of IB the Cash value is correctly updated on TWS and it considers the value of closed positions plus the profit or loss value of open positions. This is right. Although this calculation is correct, on NT the value is also updated only when a position is opened or closed. Is there a way to avoid this.
thanks
