If you are trading a cash account, say an IRA where margin is not allowed, and you use Portfolio.Cash to find out the account value, does that give you the total current account value, or the amount available for trading? If it is the total current value, as I suspect, is there a way to find out how much is settled and available for trading?

Hi oran_christian, Portfolio.Cash is the settled cash. Portfolio.UnsettledCash is the unsettled cash in the account.

Thanks Jing. That is exactly what I wanted to hear! Appreciate it.
