If additional cash is added to an IB account that is live traded after it has started, the stats will show the new cash added as an increase in the "Returns %" for the alogol. For example if the starting cash is $100,000 and then $50,000 is added to the account a few days later then the stats will show a 50% return (+/- any existing return from the initial $100,000). Not a major problem, since if you restart the alogol the stats will start over with a new starting cash amount ($150,000 in the example) and all is well again. The only issue is you will lose any stats that you may have been tracking over time (and lose continuity if you are measuring the alogol performance over time). So, just something to note for now especially as folks start live trading more often and adding cash to their portfolios over time.
