00:00:01.300 --> 00:00:05.234
Tradable cash answers a narrower question than total value: how much cash

00:00:05.234 --> 00:00:09.169
does this view identify for new trading activity under its current rules?

00:00:09.169 --> 00:00:13.103
Locate Tradable beside the header balance, or Tradable Balance in the Paper

00:00:13.103 --> 00:00:17.038
reserve dialog. Read it in the same context as the other figures.

00:00:17.038 --> 00:00:20.972
A matching word on a different account is not necessarily the same

00:00:20.972 --> 00:00:21.300
amount.

00:00:21.800 --> 00:00:25.795
For the current Paper account calculation, tradable cash is cash minus the

00:00:25.795 --> 00:00:29.790
reserve, with the displayed result not going below zero. In our example,

00:00:29.790 --> 00:00:33.785
six hundred minus two hundred gives four hundred. This tells us how

00:00:33.785 --> 00:00:37.780
the cash is divided for this calculation. It does not turn four

00:00:37.780 --> 00:00:41.775
hundred dollars into a guarantee that every four-hundred-dollar request will be accepted.

00:00:42.275 --> 00:00:46.419
For the current Live connection summary, the app compares reported cash with

00:00:46.419 --> 00:00:50.563
the configured trading budget and uses the smaller amount as tradable cash.

00:00:50.563 --> 00:00:54.707
Imagine a separate Live illustration with six hundred dollars reported and a

00:00:54.707 --> 00:00:58.851
four-hundred-dollar budget. The summary shows four hundred tradable and two hundred project

00:00:58.851 --> 00:01:02.650
reserve. Keep this Live illustration separate from the Paper reserve settings.

00:01:03.150 --> 00:01:07.119
If reported cash falls to three hundred while that budget remains four

00:01:07.119 --> 00:01:11.088
hundred, the budget does not supply the missing hundred dollars. Tradable cash

00:01:11.088 --> 00:01:15.057
cannot be created by a configuration number. Equally, a budget of zero

00:01:15.057 --> 00:01:19.025
can leave tradable cash at zero even when the exchange reports cash.

00:01:19.025 --> 00:01:22.994
Read both the reported amount and the configured limit before explaining the

00:01:22.994 --> 00:01:23.325
result.

00:01:23.825 --> 00:01:28.125
An order still has other conditions to satisfy. The account must have

00:01:28.125 --> 00:01:32.425
the required access, the connection must support submission, and the market and

00:01:32.425 --> 00:01:36.725
requested amount must be valid. Available funds can change, and pending reservations

00:01:36.725 --> 00:01:41.025
or execution checks may affect what is allowed. Tradable is useful account

00:01:41.025 --> 00:01:44.250
information, not unconditional permission to click any order button.

00:01:44.750 --> 00:01:48.765
A displayed amount can also become older than the action you are

00:01:48.765 --> 00:01:52.780
about to take. A recent purchase, another strategy request, or a refresh

00:01:52.780 --> 00:01:56.795
delay can leave two screens briefly out of step. Recheck the relevant

00:01:56.795 --> 00:02:00.810
records and current context. Do not submit several requests against the same

00:02:00.810 --> 00:02:04.825
displayed cash while assuming each request gets an independent copy of it.

00:02:05.325 --> 00:02:09.535
In Paper, the header also provides controls for adding or removing simulated

00:02:09.535 --> 00:02:13.745
cash. Those adjustments change the practice account; they are not real deposits

00:02:13.745 --> 00:02:17.956
or withdrawals. In Live, the header instead directs you to API settings

00:02:17.956 --> 00:02:22.166
for the connection and its capital controls. This lesson only reads those

00:02:22.166 --> 00:02:26.025
controls. No change is needed to prove you understand the labels.

00:02:26.525 --> 00:02:30.635
Before proceeding, explain both the amount and its limit: this view shows

00:02:30.635 --> 00:02:34.745
this much tradable cash, calculated from these figures, but execution still needs

00:02:34.745 --> 00:02:38.855
confirmation. That sentence leaves room for the checks the app has not

00:02:38.855 --> 00:02:42.965
yet performed. It also prepares you to recognize a rejection or uncertain

00:02:42.965 --> 00:02:47.075
result without assuming the cash display promised an outcome it never promised.
