Understand account statuses to know which operations are permitted on a trading account
Each trading account has an accountStatus field that determines which operations are permitted on the account. The field is returned on account objects by the API, such as in Get accounts.
An account can be assigned one of the following statuses:
Active: All operations are permitted, including placing, modifying, and canceling orders, opening and closing positions, deposits, and withdrawals.
Halted: Trader-initiated trading is blocked. Requests to place, modify, or cancel orders and to open or close positions are rejected. Deposits and withdrawals remain allowed. Managed trading through the Management API (MAM, B2COPY) continues to work.
Frozen: All operations are blocked. Trading, deposits, and withdrawals are unavailable, and the account is view-only. Stop-out liquidation still executes as a safety mechanism.
Archived: The account is decommissioned and hidden from all user-facing surfaces.
Real-time profit and loss, equity, margin level, and funding settlement continue for all statuses.
Archived accounts are never returned in the trading API account list. They are excluded server-side, so an account that changes to Archived stops appearing in Get accounts responses.
