The Summary pane has three tabbed windows: Account Summary, Open Position Summary, and Margin Requirements.
The data displayed on this pane is determined by the selection on the Accounts pane and the filters in use. In essence, there are two modes: individual account mode and all accounts mode. When you select an individual account on the Accounts pane, the summary and order panes show data for that account. When you select All FCMs or All Accounts on the Accounts pane, the summary and order panes show data for all accounts. In this case, you can select an account on the summary pane to filter data on the order pane.
For exchange-traded spreads, individual legs (not the spread symbol) are displayed for all days previous to the current day. Spread symbols are displayed only for the current day.
Selecting the Open Positions Summary you can launch the default trading display by double clicking on the symbol or selecting the symbol and hitting the F9 key.

Account Summary for All Accounts and All FCMs
When you select All FCMs or All Accounts in the Accounts pane, all corresponding accounts are listed in rows on the Account Summary window. Each row includes account summary data and can be expanded to expose summary rows for each currency used and total change from previous day.

To filter
To filter the Account Summary list, type part of an account name or ID in the Filters accounts field.

About Margin Excess, Margin Value, Purchasing Power, and Margin Credit
Preference settings determine whether these rows are displayed. Go to Setup > Orders and Positions Preferences > O&P Functions > Accounts > Display margin information in Account Summary. They are on by default. Margin values are not available for accounts created locally.
Margin data is refreshed automatically when it is updated by your broker.
After Purchasing Power and Margin Excess are initially calculated, they are updated based on incoming quotes (Bid/Ask or Last trade). If OTE/MVO is included in Purchasing Power, the value changes once a new quote is received.
Margin rows display “N/A” when margin data is unavailable or when margin subsystem is disabled for the account. OTE/MVO values are also based on the account’s risk parameters.
If you are not logged on to trade, the last margin data received is displayed.
Margin rows are updated when:
• you move to the Account Summary window
• the account is changed
• when the date filter is changed from current day to historical to filter the Account Summary window
• when you log on to trade when the Account Summary window is selected
