What does “Equity” mean?
について account equity or simply “エクイティ” represents the current value of your trading account.
Equity is the current value of the account and 変動 with every tick when looking at your trading platform on your screen.
It is the sum of your account balance and all floating (unrealized) profits or losses associated with your open positions.
As your current trades rise or fall in value, so does your Equity.
How to Calculate Equity If You Have No Trades Open
If you do NOT have any open positions, then your Equity is the same as your Balance.
Equity = Account Balance
Example: Account Equity When You Have No Open Trades
取引口座に$1,000を入金します。
Since you haven’t opened any trades yet, your Balance and Equity is the same.
How to Calculate Equity If You Have Trades Open
If you have open positions, your Equity is the sum of your account balance and your account’s floating P/L.
Equity = Account Balance + Floating Profits (or Losses)
Example: Account Equity When an Existing Trade is Losing
You deposit $1,000 in your trading account.
Beyoncé tweets that she’s shorting GBP/USD. Because she’s Beyoncé, you follow what she says and go short also.
Price moves immediately against you and your trade shows a floating loss of $50.
Equity = Account Balance + Floating Profits (or Losses) $950 = $1,000 + (-$50)
Example: Account Equity When an Existing Trade is Winning
Beyoncé tweets again and says she’s changed her mind. She’s now 長い GBP/USD.
Not only is she Crazy in Love, but she seems crazy in trading also.
But because she’s the Queen B, you follow what she says and go long also.
Price moves immediately in your favor and your trade shows a floating gain of $100.
Equity = Account Balance + Floating Profits (or Losses) $1,100 = $1,000 + $100
Your account equity continuously 変動 with the current market prices as long as you have any オープンポジション
Equity shows the “TEMPORARY” value of your account at the current time. (Unlike a tattoo, which is…違う temporary.)
That’s why Equity is seen as a “floating account balance“. It will only become your “real account balance” if you were to close all your trades すぐに.
What is the difference between Balance and Equity?
Let’s start with a simple answer.
If your account is “flat” or does NOT have any positions open, then your Balance and Equity are the SAME.
But if you do have open positions, this is when the Balance and Equity differ.
- について バランス reflects your profit/loss from クローズド の位置にある。
- について エクイティ reflects the real-time calculation of your profit/loss. The Equity takes into account both open アンド closed positions.
This means that when you’re looking at your Balance, it is NOT the actual real-time amount of your funds.
Since Equity includes current profits or losses from open trades, it is Equity that shows the real-time amount of your funds.
It’s possible to have a very large Balance, but very small Equity.
This happens when your open positions have a large unrealized (floating) losses.
For example, if your Balance is $1,000, and you have an open trade that has a floating loss of $900.
