Hi, I have a live trading account and I don't have any open positions as at 2:14pm today. However, in the Account Balances Window it states my margin requirements is $660. This is wrong, as I don't have any live positions. Could someone please rectify this issue and provide me with an update ? Thanks.

You have to assume that the value for the Margin Requirement is not valid. Refer to the information on this in this section:

Hi,

My margin requirement figures continues to be reported incorrectly.

Yes, I have read the information from the below link you posted on an earlier thread, however this delay in updating the correct information is happening over days/weeks (not 1hr or 2hr or 3hr). I can close my position for the day and come back the next day and my margin requirement still shows a large amount.

Clearly this is an issuing with TT.

If you cannot deal with it, how can I get in contact with someone in TT for them to investigate ? This is rather frustrating.

I have spoken to my broker yesterday and they said they have heard a number of clients having this issue and to contact yourself.

Appreciate any assistance.

Thanks
