# Adjust Cash

POST https://live.tradovateapi.com/v1/fundTransaction/adjustcash
Content-Type: application/json

### Adjust the cash balance of a demo account.

Available to: Organization administrators

Environments: Demo

Manage the simulated fund balances of your organization's demo accounts. Use this endpoint to top up a trader's balance mid-challenge, set starting balances for new evaluation accounts, or reset a balance after it's been depleted.

<Note>If your call returns a 401 "Access is denied" error, contact Evaluation Support to have the `Funds:FullAccess` permission added to your API key.</Note>

**Difference Between `adjustCash` and `changeDemoBalance`**

The `changeDemoBalance` endpoint is available to all traders and has rate limits to protect against abuse. Because `adjustCash` is restricted to organization administrators with `Funds` permissions, it supports higher throughput and doesn't have a rate limit. `adjustCash` also gives you more control: you can classify the adjustment type, specify the currency, and include an audit comment.

**Field Details**

The `accountId` must reference an active demo account within your organization. You can look up account IDs using the Query Builder in the Admin Dashboards or via the `/account/list` endpoint.

The `currencyId` must correspond to one of the supported currencies: USD, EUR, AUD, GBP, or CAD. Currency IDs are environment-specific. Use the `/currency/list` endpoint to retrieve valid IDs for your environment.

**Relevant `cashChangeType` Values**

All `CashChangeType` enum values are accepted, but these are the most relevant for typical demo balance management:

- `ManualAdjustment`: General-purpose balance changes
- `Courtesy`: Goodwill credits
- `Debit`: Deductions from an account
- `FundTransaction`: Funding-related changes
- `ChallengePayout`: Challenge or evaluation payouts

**Common Failure Scenarios**

- Account is closed or inactive
- `accountId` does not exist or does not belong to your organization
- `cashChange` is outside the allowed range (must be between -100,000 and 100,000, exclusive)
- `comment` exceeds 64 characters
- API key is missing `Funds:FullAccess` scope (returns 401)
- User is not an organization administrator

**Reversing an Adjustment**

There is no dedicated undo operation. To reverse a cash adjustment, make another `adjustCash` call with the opposite `cashChange` amount. Use the `comment` field to document the reason and link the reversal to the original entry.

<Note>
The response includes a full `CashBalanceSnapshot` reflecting the account's updated state. On success, the `errorText` field is absent and all balance fields are populated.
