Accounts

Accounts are associated with particular customers, and traders are assigned to trade particular accounts.

Once you have created a new individual, group, or omnibus account, you use the Accounts pages to establish and maintain:

      risk settings

      risk parameters

      account authorization

      market limits

      balances

You can also view, modify, remove, and restore accounts.
