(If there is a change in intraday balance and a new position is taken, a final check will be done before NY close and the new position will be moved to the overnight position, with the initial position closed. If the new intraday position is canceled, the initial position remains. Therefore, if a new position arises due to a change in intraday balance, it will be a hedge with the initial position, and if this new position is canceled, a loss may occur.)
