The Account Board displays account details for all the accounts that you have access to. The most common columns are visible by default. Each account listed will have a name, number, total P&L, total cash, and status. Your account will also break down P&L by providing individual market positions. Each position will display the market, net position, and P&L. Combining the P&L for all the positions will equal the account total P&L. Many additional Columns are available in Account Board Properties.
