Why do I have an account deficit? | Robinhood

Why do I have an account deficit?

You have an account deficit because you’ve used more buying power than you had available.

You can resolve an account deficit by depositing funds or closing positions.

If you're charged a fee and you don’t have enough brokerage cash in your account to cover it, you may have an account deficit. Some of the most common fees that cause customers to have an account deficit are fees associated with American Depositary Receipts (ADRs).
