The "last_equity" field returned by the "GET /v2/account" endpoint may not reflect the most recent closing price for some accounts. Values derived from this field, such as day-over-day equity change, may be affected. Real-time equity and buying power are calculated from current market prices and are not impacted. Order entry and execution are unaffected. This is expected to correct automatically during daily processing, ahead of the market open on Friday, July 31. If this field is material to your workflow and you need it sooner, please contact support.
