Accounts

On the Accounts page you can see the list of accounts of the current broker. The account accumulates the funds and assets, contains information on past and future settlements, data on open and closed positions (current and selective), and a lot of other data.

The table shows the following account parameters:

Accounting typetype of account accounting
Management typetype of account management

The account Open date is set automatically upon account activation in the following scenarios:

  • Creating an account via the admin terminal
  • Changing the account status through its settings
  • Self-registration of an account by the client
  • Setting up accounts on demo brokers
  • Completion of the KYC procedure by the client
  • Creating an account via REST API
Please note! If an account already had an opening date set before being switched to the Active status, a new date will not be assigned upon activation.
Important! The account Open date must be set earlier than the date of the first operation performed on it.

The account type determines how the account will be settled:

  • Personal — on such an account, trading is possible, and funds can be deposited. Settlements are carried out based on trades in these accounts (there is cash flow).
  • Non-accountable — accounts are used, for instance, for aggregating trades from external sources (when personal client accounts in the platform are unnecessary) or for OTC trading (used for counterparties in settlements for securities transactions). Trades can be executed on such accounts, but no transactions will be recorded (it is assumed that cash flow is registered in an external system). You can view trade results, positions, and placed orders for such accounts, but funds cannot be deposited.
  • Nominal — technical accounts created by the broker for the correct accounting of various transactions (cash movements). All system settlements pass through such accounts.

Management types:

  • Brokerage — provides the client full access to their account, including the ability to enter their trading instance, use trading features, access reports, tables, etc.
  • Current — on accounts with this management type, funds can be stored, but trading is not possible.
  • Portfolio management — only a participant with portfolio manager access can trade on such an account. Trading by the end client is not allowed, only viewing is possible. For such accounts, the end client can request deposits/withdrawals and export data to tables.
