Equity

Your account balance plus or minus any unrealized profits or losses.

Full Definition

Equity is your real-time account value, calculated as Balance + Floating Profit/Loss. If your balance is $10,000 and you have $500 in unrealized profits, your equity is $10,500. Equity fluctuates with open positions and determines your margin level and available free margin. It becomes your new balance when you close all positions.
