Hello, I have a question about the IB account statment. Under the cash report there is "cash settling MTM" listed. What does that mean? At IB's website I found the following: "Cash Settling MTM shows mark-to-market gains and losses for Futures and CFDs, as well as Options that settle into cash." Now, are that gains/Losses that are already closed and how are they different to the "normal" closed trades (net trades)? Thanks and regards Ben
