00:00:01.300 --> 00:00:05.325
A saved connection deserves a careful read. Begin at the top of

00:00:05.325 --> 00:00:09.351
its card. Check the connection name and provider together. The masked key

00:00:09.351 --> 00:00:13.376
reference can help distinguish credentials privately, but it is not a reason

00:00:13.376 --> 00:00:17.402
to share account details. A familiar name is helpful; it is not

00:00:17.402 --> 00:00:19.750
proof that every other setting is correct.

00:00:20.250 --> 00:00:24.338
Next, read the status. Valid means the connection has passed its relevant

00:00:24.338 --> 00:00:28.426
validation. Invalid, disabled, or pending validation describes a different state. Do not

00:00:28.426 --> 00:00:32.514
rely on the color alone. Read the words and any error message,

00:00:32.514 --> 00:00:36.603
then check the timing information. A status describes what the app knows;

00:00:36.603 --> 00:00:40.350
it is not a permanent certificate that access can never change.

00:00:40.850 --> 00:00:44.770
On desktop, find Balance synced and read its time, or the message

00:00:44.770 --> 00:00:48.691
that a sync has not happened yet. Refresh balance asks for an

00:00:48.691 --> 00:00:52.611
updated connection and cash check. On mobile, Check connection is the corresponding

00:00:52.611 --> 00:00:56.531
connection-check route, and the card shows when it was checked. If the

00:00:56.531 --> 00:01:00.125
request fails, the old value is not automatically a fresh balance.

00:01:00.625 --> 00:01:04.548
Now separate the money labels. API-reported cash is the cash information returned

00:01:04.548 --> 00:01:08.470
for the connected account. Trading budget is the amount configured for TraderLobby

00:01:08.470 --> 00:01:12.393
to use. Project reserve is described here as cash outside that budget.

00:01:12.393 --> 00:01:16.316
Tradable cash is the app's displayed amount available under its current account

00:01:16.316 --> 00:01:20.239
calculation. These labels answer different questions; they should not be added together

00:01:20.239 --> 00:01:22.200
as though they were separate deposits.

00:01:22.700 --> 00:01:26.388
Imagine an illustrative account with five hundred dollars of reported cash and

00:01:26.388 --> 00:01:30.075
a two-hundred-dollar budget. The simple idea is that the configured budget covers

00:01:30.075 --> 00:01:33.763
part of the cash, while the rest sits outside that budget. This

00:01:33.763 --> 00:01:37.451
example is not a promise that a particular order can spend two

00:01:37.451 --> 00:01:41.138
hundred dollars. Read the actual tradable figure and any restrictions before interpreting

00:01:41.138 --> 00:01:42.675
what the app can use.

00:01:43.175 --> 00:01:47.225
The reserve label does not mean TraderLobby moved money into a separate

00:01:47.225 --> 00:01:51.275
bank account. Likewise, raising a budget does not deposit funds, create buying

00:01:51.275 --> 00:01:55.325
power at the exchange, or guarantee that the selected trading currency is

00:01:55.325 --> 00:01:59.375
available. If a value says Not reported, do not silently replace that

00:01:59.375 --> 00:02:03.425
message with zero. Missing information and a reported zero are different results.

00:02:03.925 --> 00:02:07.589
The desktop card lets you edit capital controls and then choose Save

00:02:07.589 --> 00:02:11.254
capital controls. The mobile card uses editable Trading limit and Currency tiles

00:02:11.254 --> 00:02:14.918
followed by Save trading settings. Both flows require you to read the

00:02:14.918 --> 00:02:18.582
result after an intentional change. The optional profit-skim setting concerns a share

00:02:18.582 --> 00:02:22.246
of realized profit going into reserve; it is not an interest rate

00:02:22.246 --> 00:02:25.300
or a promised return. Leave it unchanged for this check.

00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:30.047
Finally, confirm Trading currency again. Changing it does not convert funds, and

00:02:30.047 --> 00:02:34.293
the screen says a new currency requires order revalidation. If an edited

00:02:34.293 --> 00:02:38.540
field and a saved summary disagree, do not assume the edit took

00:02:38.540 --> 00:02:42.786
effect. Check the save result and the refreshed card. The summary, currency,

00:02:42.786 --> 00:02:46.325
validation status, and balance timing should tell one understandable story.

00:02:46.825 --> 00:02:50.691
For your check, point to the identity, status, currency, and timing information.

00:02:50.691 --> 00:02:54.557
Explain the difference between reported cash, budget, and reserve. You do not

00:02:54.557 --> 00:02:58.423
need to disclose any real amounts. You should be able to tell

00:02:58.423 --> 00:03:02.289
what a label means without treating every number on the card as

00:03:02.289 --> 00:03:03.900
money ready for an order.
