Accounts Statuses

The following are the possible account status values. Accounts will have both status and crypto_status with status denoting the account's equities trading status and crypto_status denoting the account's crypto trading status.

Most likely, the account status is ACTIVE unless there is an issue. The account status may get to ACCOUNT_UPDATED when personal information is being updated from the API, in which case the end user may not be allowed trading for a short period of time until the change is approved.

For more on creating an account check out our API reference section on the Accounts Endpoint.
