How to understand equity, balance and freemargin?
Keith Watford, 2014.10.31 05:51
Account balance is the balance not including the floating profit/loss from any open trades
Equity is the account balance plus or minus the floating profit/loss from any open trades
Free margin is the equity minus the margin used for open trades.
Floating Profit is just the profit/loss on the current open trades
Hi iRick,
Thanks for your reply
As you can see in the picture the Profit is the profit/loss of the opened positions so it is the same Floating Profit.
Hi Sergey Golubev,
Thanks for more informations, but in the picture the Profit of the opened positions and Floating profit is not the same.
Can you explain the reason??
Thanks
