    bug:
    account window: expand (+) works, but collapse (-) does not work.
    (my OS: Linux 64bit)

    shortcoming:
    calculating the margin impact for own order sitting in the exchange orderbook is not possible.

    shortcoming:
    calculating the margin impact for a single position in the portfolio is not possible.
    Ie. trader needs to know how much margin would be released if he/she closes that position.

    Definitely possible using two-step order transmission: right-click on the open position, click 'Close', and the order confirmation panel will be displayed, with the margin impact post-action shown in the bottom right quadrant.

    Ok, I tested it now. You are right, indeed it works. This functionality is very useful for me.
