Using The Margin Monitor

• Cash: The net amount of all cash balances held in the account, converted to your base currency.
• Unrealized P&L: Unrealized profit or loss calculated from the mark-to-market valuations of all open positions.
• Equity: Represents the liquidation value of the account, calculated as Cash + Unrealized P&L.
• Credit Line: Any credit provisioned on the account, typically used to supplement initial or variation margining or facilitate settlements for high-value customers. Any Credit Line assigned to an account directly increases or decreases margin excess/deficit.
• NOP Limit: Details the Net Open Position Limit assigned to the account.
• NOP: Net Open Position (NOP) shows the account’s exposure to the market across all open positions, converted into base currency. In Kooltra, there are three options for calculating NOP: Gross, Currency Pair Buckets, and Currency Buckets. NOP calculations do not consider closed trades/positions.
• Margin Group: The margin group that the account has been assigned to.
• Margin Required: Calculated whenever Positions, Cash Balances, or Rates change. Margin Required is calculated at the Account level and is a function of the rules configured for the assigned Margin Group.
• Margin Excess: Equal to Equity + Credit Line - Margin Required.
