I have a question regarding the "buying power" display in the Control Center for my TD Ameritrade account. In Ninjatrader, I'm correctly seeing the cash value, but under buying power I see a number the same as TD's "funds available for trading" (nearly the same as the cash value) and not the 4x multiplier of day trading buying power. I have, however, just recently funded my account, if that has any effect on the buying power showing up correctly in NT.
Is this just how the buying power shows up in the application? Is it possible to get it to show up correctly, or should I just disregard the NT value and go by what TD tells me on the brokerage website? I just want to make sure that I don't run into issues placing a trade that goes beyond cash value into DTBP, when the broker shows DTBP but NT doesn't.
