— 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.
