What percentage of my trading account is actually deployed in the market right now?

How this is calculated

• Percent deployed equals the total market value of your open positions, divided by your total account value.
• Cash buffer equals your account value minus your open position value. A negative buffer means your position value exceeds your account equity, which means you're using margin or leverage somewhere in the account.
• This measures gross capital in the market, not risk defined by your stop-loss placement. A fully deployed account with tight stops can carry less actual risk than a lightly deployed account with wide stops. Use the portfolio heat tool linked below for the stop-based risk view.
• There's no single correct percentage to be deployed at. Keeping a cash buffer gives you room to take a new setup without selling something else first, and room to absorb a margin call or unexpected expense without forced selling.
