# Customizing your Terminal

## Global interface controls

### Account selection

The **Account select** is located in the topbar and enables you to switch between your trading accounts. Each account shows its type: `H` (Hedging) or `N` (Netting).

Once you switch the account, all the widgets automatically adjust to show relevant information for the selected account.

#### Account status

An account can have a status that limits what you can do with it. When a status applies, a status indicator is shown on the account, and a banner explains the restriction. Account status is managed by your administrator.

The following statuses are visible to you:

* **Halted**: A banner reads *Account is locked for trading. Contact your administrator.* The trading controls are disabled, but you can still deposit and withdraw funds, and your balances, positions, and history stay visible.
* **Frozen**: A banner reads *Account is frozen. Contact your administrator.* The account is view-only. All controls are disabled, while your balances, positions, and history stay visible.

To restore trading on an account that is Halted or Frozen, contact your administrator.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://trader-docs.b2trader.b2broker.com/get-started/customizing-your-terminal.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
