rtbp stands for questrade

 AI Overview

Yes, 
RTBP stands for Real-Time Buying Power on Questrade. 
Here is what you need to know about RTBP on Questrade:
  • Purpose: It is a metric used in Margin accounts to monitor your available buying power with real-time streaming data, helping you avoid margin calls.
  • Where to find it: It is available in the Questrade Edge Desktop and Edge Web platforms under the Positions tab.
  • Real-time vs. Daily: Unlike the regular Buying Power shown on the balances page (which updates mainly after a trade), RTBP updates throughout the day based on the market price changes of your positions.
  • Positive/Negative: A positive value (in black) shows how much extra buying power you have, while a negative value (in red) indicates that you are in a margin call. 
It is important to note that RTBP is for informational purposes to help you monitor your account, and does not necessarily determine if a specific order will be accepted.
