| Balance | Description | Update Frequency |
|---|---|---|
| Cash Available to Trade | The amount available to purchase securities in a Cash account without adding money to the account. Executed Buy orders will reduce this value (at the time the order is placed), and executed Sell orders will increase this value (at the time the order executes). | Intraday |
| Cash (Core) | Account settlement position for trade activity and money movement, including core and other eligible additional Fidelity money markets. Executed Buy orders and cash withdrawals will reduce the Core, and executed Sell orders and cash deposits will increase the Core. | Overnight |
| Cash Credit/Cash Debit | A Cash Credit (positive value) reflects a credit from unsettled trades or deposits that has not yet swept into the core account. In certain circumstances, cash credits may not be swept to your core account. When that occurs, the cash credit balance will reflect both amounts credited to the account from unsettled activity as well as un-swept settled cash balances. A Cash Debit (negative value) is an amount that will be debited from the account at settlement. | Intraday |
| Uncollected Deposit | Recent deposits that have not gone through the bank collection process and are unavailable for online trading. The normal check and electronic funds transfer (EFT) collection period is 4 business days. | Overnight |

| Settled Cash | The portion of your Cash (Core) balance that represents the amount of securities you can Buy and Sell in a Cash Account without creating a Good Faith Violation. This amount includes proceeds from transactions settling today MINUS unsettled buy transactions, short equity proceeds settling today and the intraday exercisable value of option positions. Additionally, uncollected deposits may not be reflected in this balance until the deposit has gone through the bank collection process which is usually 4 business days. | Intraday |
