Not just what you hold, but which rule is holding it
Your broker nets everything into one line per symbol. That is correct for a broker and useless for deciding which rule to switch off.
Every account, one view
The balances are read where they actually sit
Each connection reports its own balance, what it covers, and when it last answered. Nothing is netted into a single number that hides which venue it came from.
The paper badge is not a footnote. A paper connection and a funded one appear in the same list, under the same headings, because the difference between them is the single most important thing to be able to see at a glance, and a product that hides it is one where somebody eventually places a real order believing otherwise.
Two views
One is the truth, the other is the reason
Both are needed and they are not the same number. Showing only one of them is how a position ends up orphaned.
What you hold
Straight from the broker, netted per symbol, including anything you opened by hand or that arrived through an assignment.
Answers: am I exposed, and by how much.
Who opened it
From our own record of what each rule did, split out of the broker line and valued per row.
Answers: which rule is working, and what happens if I stop it.
What keeps it honest
The split has to survive you trading somewhere else
The moment our record and your broker disagree, the second view becomes fiction. So the disagreement is looked for rather than assumed away.
You traded in the broker app
A position that changed outside this platform is detected and the record is brought back in line, rather than drifting until the numbers stop adding up.
Part of it closed
A partial close is not a full one. The quantity is adjusted and the rule keeps managing what is left, instead of the position being marked finished.
An option turned into stock
Assignment and exercise create real stock positions you did not order. They appear as what they are rather than being attributed to whichever rule happens to look closest.
See the split before you need it
Run two rules on the same symbol in a paper account and watch them report separately.
