EquityWhen looking at an MT4 or MT5 trading account, you may see both Balance and Equity displayed.
They are related, but they do not always show the same amount.
Equity is the current value of a trading account after the unrealised profit or loss of open positions is taken into account.
In simplified form:
Equity = Balance + Unrealised Profit/Loss
Suppose your account balance is: $5,000
If your open positions currently show an unrealised profit of $200, your equity would be approximately: $5,200
If those positions instead show an unrealised loss of $300, your equity would be approximately: $4,700
That means your balance may remain unchanged while your equity moves as market prices change.
Equity can change because the value of open positions changes.
If an open position moves into unrealised profit, account equity generally rises.
If an open position moves into unrealised loss, account equity generally falls.
As market prices continue to move, those figures may change again.
This is why the equity figure can fluctuate even when no deposits, withdrawals or position closures have occurred.
When there are no open positions, there is no unrealised profit or loss from active trades.
At that point, equity and balance will generally be the same, assuming there are no other adjustments affecting the account.
Once positions are opened again, equity may begin moving away from the balance as unrealised profit or loss develops.
The simplest way to remember equity is:
Balance = account value without current open-position P/L.
Equity = balance plus current unrealised P/L.
If your open positions change in value, your equity can change too — even while your balance remains unchanged.
