Both MT4 and MT5 platforms give you real-time insights into your trading account. You can conveniently check details like your balance, equity, margin, free margin, and the current profit or loss of open trades.
📊 Checking Your Live Account Details
All of this critical operational data can be found located directly under the "Trade" tab in the terminal section of your platform workspace:
Balance: The total financial capital in your trading account before factoring in any currently open positions.
Equity: Your real-time account value calculated dynamically as: {Balance} add or subtract {Floating Profit/Loss}
Margin: The required collateral amount is currently locked by your trading account to keep your active positions running.
Free Margin: The remaining usable funds available to open new positions.
⏱️ How to View Past Activity
To review your completed trades, closed balances, historical deposits, or past withdrawals, simply switch to the "History" (or "Account History" in MT4) tab located right next to the Trade tab within that exact same terminal area.
💡 Quick Keyboard Shortcut:
If you cannot see the Terminal window at the bottom of your desktop layout, simply press Ctrl + T on your keyboard to instantly toggle the window back into view.
