Any Advice? My balance is low?

Some platforms will display P/L in green while it's a loosing position (should be in red...) and they will not use this one ,, - '', but those instead ,,( )''

e.g this field from TOS shows a total portfolio loss of a $2300.

Don't know the reasoning. Maybe red color is too depressing or something.
Platforms don't want those newbies to give up too fast, - it's their source for commissions. It's a loss - but still green. Like for some the cup is half empty and for some it's half full. Marketing games.

Or maybe they had a call from FED :
,,- No worries folks - it's always green out here''

Dunno what TOS reason is, but in China red is an auspicious colour and the standard to show profits while green is used for Losses. A bit confusing at first.

I see, - one of the reasons then.

Color blind a reason ??.OK
[ I did not know any broker that does not keep a record of your orders, but I maybe mistaken on that ??] I record mine in a paper notebook also.

That maybe why most brokers also use a dash-- for losses+ use numbers also. Can get confused, even if not colorblind. I like a moving average;
underlines or overlines price.......................................................................
Hope this helps+ it helped me
