00:00:01.300 --> 00:00:05.353
Locked can sound like a single explanation for every unavailable amount. In

00:00:05.353 --> 00:00:09.405
this app, we need to be more specific. The header's Locked label

00:00:09.405 --> 00:00:13.458
represents the reserve figure supplied for that context. In Paper, its description

00:00:13.458 --> 00:00:17.510
is locked profit reserve. It is not a complete list of every

00:00:17.510 --> 00:00:21.225
pending order, exchange hold, or restriction that might affect an action.

00:00:21.725 --> 00:00:25.468
A reserve marks cash that the app separates from its tradable calculation.

00:00:25.468 --> 00:00:29.210
In our Paper example, two hundred dollars are reserved within six hundred

00:00:29.210 --> 00:00:32.953
dollars of cash. That leaves four hundred shown as tradable. Locking that

00:00:32.953 --> 00:00:36.695
amount does not turn it into a separate bank account, create an

00:00:36.695 --> 00:00:40.438
additional asset, or prove that it is protected from every kind of

00:00:40.438 --> 00:00:40.750
loss.

00:00:41.250 --> 00:00:45.375
A pending action is a different matter. A request can be waiting

00:00:45.375 --> 00:00:49.500
for confirmation while records or available amounts are still changing. You should

00:00:49.500 --> 00:00:53.625
investigate the request and its status, not assume the header's Locked figure

00:00:53.625 --> 00:00:57.750
will rise by exactly that order's value. The label does not promise

00:00:57.750 --> 00:01:00.500
to explain every stage of an order's handling.

00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:05.371
There is also a distinction between cash reserve and reserved asset quantity.

00:01:05.371 --> 00:01:09.743
In the position sell dialog, Owned, Available, and Reserved describe units of

00:01:09.743 --> 00:01:14.114
that particular asset. A position could show one unit owned, zero point

00:01:14.114 --> 00:01:18.486
eight available, and zero point two reserved. Those are asset units, not

00:01:18.486 --> 00:01:21.400
dollar cash amounts in the header's profit reserve.

00:01:21.900 --> 00:01:25.543
Owning an asset also means its value is no longer simply waiting

00:01:25.543 --> 00:01:29.186
as cash for a second purchase. If cash paid for a holding,

00:01:29.186 --> 00:01:32.829
do not count both the cash that was spent and the holding

00:01:32.829 --> 00:01:36.471
it bought as available funding. The recorded purchase and updated account views

00:01:36.471 --> 00:01:40.114
should show how the categories changed. We will trace that change on

00:01:40.114 --> 00:01:41.025
the final page.

00:01:41.525 --> 00:01:45.671
Live has another important distinction. The current connection summary separates reported cash

00:01:45.671 --> 00:01:49.818
from the amount allowed by its trading budget. Cash above that budget

00:01:49.818 --> 00:01:53.964
can appear as project reserve. That is a limit within TraderLobby's connection

00:01:53.964 --> 00:01:58.111
setup; it does not, by itself, mean the exchange placed a withdrawal

00:01:58.111 --> 00:02:00.875
lock on those funds or moved them elsewhere.

00:02:01.375 --> 00:02:05.280
If an amount is unavailable and you cannot explain why, begin with

00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:09.185
the relevant evidence. Check the mode and connection, the reserve or budget

00:02:09.185 --> 00:02:13.089
setting, any unresolved request, and the position's available units if you are

00:02:13.089 --> 00:02:16.994
selling. Do not press Reset Reserve simply to test a theory. A

00:02:16.994 --> 00:02:20.899
reset changes a setting and can change tradable cash; it is not

00:02:20.899 --> 00:02:21.875
a diagnostic refresh.

00:02:22.375 --> 00:02:26.161
Your checkpoint is to name the kind of restriction you are seeing.

00:02:26.161 --> 00:02:29.946
Is it a Paper cash reserve, a Live project budget boundary, a

00:02:29.946 --> 00:02:33.732
position's reserved units, or an unresolved action? If the screen does not

00:02:33.732 --> 00:02:37.518
establish the reason, say that it remains uncertain. A careful explanation is

00:02:37.518 --> 00:02:41.304
more useful than calling every difference locked money and treating them all

00:02:41.304 --> 00:02:42.250
the same way.
