Available cash is the portion of a brokerage account balance that is not currently tied up in open positions or restricted. This cash can be used for new trades, withdrawals, or to cover margin calls.

It is distinct from the total account value, which includes the value of open positions. Managing available cash is important for maintaining liquidity and responding to market changes.
