    Nonexistent forex positions displaying

    I just went live with NT and it read my orders and positions in from IB. In the positions tab NT is showing a number of forex positions that I do not have open.

    NT is displaying the contents of what TWS calls the FX Portfolio. However TWS help says this about the FX Portfolio section:

    "This section shows activity only for currency pair trades. The "Position" value reflects the sum of trades executed in the FX market only, and consequently does not reflect a real-time FX position. Check the value in the Cash field of the Market Value section for real-time FX position information."

    Checking the Cash field of the Market Value section shows that there are no open FX positions.

    I don't understand why IB shows the "FX Portfolio" in this way, however, is there a way for NT not to report these listings as open positions?

    Unfortunately this is a limitation of an IB "multi-currencies" account as IB TWS reports this value as a position to NT.

      Ok, thanks for getting back to me. I worked it out with IB. Those balances can be reset to zero.
