The initial margin is subtracted when a long position is established as part of the calculation of the cash value.
When a short position is established the initial margin is summed as part of the calculation of the cash value.
From my standpoint, I would prefer the initial margin to be subtracted from the cash value whether I am long or short.
1) Is this the correct behavior
2) Can I modify the way the number is calculated or does it just display what it’s sent?
