InteractiveBrokers: Cash Balance

Personal Finance & Money Asked on March 18, 2021

I started a Cash account at IKBR, transferred USD and made some trades in various currencies. When I ask "IBot" about the Cash Balance, the balance is negative and changes frequently.

On my currency statement, USD is positive, EUR, GBP are negative.

Their help states that the earnings in other currencies will stay in that currency, but why is the currency and cash balance negative?

One Answer

If you are using IBKR's Standalone Trader WorkStation, open the Account Window. Your available cash balance will be displayed under Balances as well as under Market Value - Real FX Balance. It will also be shown on your daily statements.

I am not familiar with "IBot" on IBKR.
