What does Account equity mean?
Account equity is the account’s current value including open-position profit and loss. The platform’s treatment of charges and other adjustments determines the exact calculation.
Example
A $20,000 balance plus an open $350 loss gives $19,650 equity, assuming no other adjustments.
