Why is the balance in the funds statement displayed as negative?

The TradeJini account balance might appear as negative due to a few reasons:

Utilization of Collateral Margin: The funds statement doesn’t include collateral margin obtained by pledging securities. If this margin is used for positions and there’s an inadequacy in other funds, it could lead to a negative balance.

Daily Marked-to-Market (M2M) Losses: If you’re holding futures positions, daily losses are settled, and the amount is deducted from your available free cash balance, not from SPAN or Exposure margins. Insufficient funds to cover these losses can result in a negative balance.

Charges: Your account balance may go negative if there aren’t enough funds to cover Annual Maintenance charges, DP charges, and other deductions from the account.
