Excess Funds Sweep

Trading Term

The transfer of excess margin funds between the securities and commodities segments of your account. As part of the IBKR Account service, you have authorized IBKR to automatically transfer funds as necessary to satisfy margin requirements in either account. The Excess Funds Sweep page in Client Portal lets you configure how you want IBKR to handle the transfer of your excess funds between the two segments of your account. You can choose to sweep funds to either the securities account or the commodities account, or choose not to sweep funds at all.
