Account Equity
Account equity is your balance plus or minus all unrealized P&L from open positions — the true real-time value of your account, not the settled balance.
Accumulation Phase
A sideways consolidation period where institutional traders quietly accumulate positions, characterized by balanced price action and low volatility before a directional displacement.
