The following Balance tab fields are not supported with this service.
Account Value Account Currency Open Positions Profit/Loss Daily Profit/Loss Additionally, the account balance fields do not update immediately. There can be a delay from 1 to 30 minutes depending upon whether there has been order activity or not on the Trade Account. And we have also observed, that the Margin Requirement field may not reflect the actual margin requirement. This is a limitation/issue with TT. This account balance data is simply passed through as it is received from TT. TT does not provide this information in real time. It has to be periodically requested. I suppose since these fields are expressly not supported I shouldn't be posting a support request about them? From a design point of view it seems simpler to disable/zero them than report a wrong value and then point the user to the documentation where it says somewhere on page 62 that the values might not be reliable. There seems to be a lot of complexity here which could be better abstracted for the user. |
