Abstract
The positive cone in a closed $^*$-subalgebra of the noncommutative Schwartz algebra of smooth operators is normal, which immediately implies decomposition of a continuous self-adjoint functional as a difference of two positive functionals. A~decomposition as a difference of two representable positive functionals holds precisely for self-adjoint functionals continuous in the $C^*$-operator norm.
