In MT5, any credit allocated to your trading account can be easily viewed directly in the trading terminal. The 'credit' field shows the credited funds available for trading, which play a key role in your total equity calculation.
Here’s a breakdown of how credit fits into equity calculations in MetaTrader 5:
Equity: Your equity is calculated using this formula: Balance + Credit + Floating Profit/Loss + Swap + Commission
Balance: The total amount of funds available in your account after all completed transactions, including deposits, withdrawals, and earnings from successful trades.
Credit: Displays the funds credited to your account through promotions, which cannot be withdrawn but can be used for trading purposes in MetaTrader 5.
Floating Profit/Loss: Reflects the ongoing profit or loss from all open positions, changing in real-time with market movements.
Swap: Represents the cumulative swap charges from all open positions.
Commission: Covers the standard fees charged to specific account types, such as raw spread and zero accounts, and is directly deducted from the balance in MT5.
Additionally, any profits generated from credited funds or extra deposits will be reflected under 'credit' in your account history within the trading terminal, providing complete transparency of your financial activities in MT5.
