Proceeds from sales are available as a credit balance immediately after execution after deducting a safety margin for any taxes and can be used again directly for the purchase of securities. After booking, the full sales proceeds are available on the following day.

However, they are only available for payment once the trades have been booked by the custodian bank. This is because securities transactions are not actually booked until two trading days after the trade has been concluded on the stock exchange (so-called settlement).
