（If there are changes in the day-to-day balance and new positions are taken, they will be reviewed at the NY close, and new positions will be moved to overnight positions, while the initial positions will be closed. However, if new positions in the day-to-day balance are canceled midway, the initial positions up to that point will be maintained. Therefore, when a new position arises due to changes in the day-to-day balance, it will be a hedge against the initial position. Naturally, there will be a loss on cancellation.)
