Balance 

Balance is the amount of cash in your trading account.

Balance refers to the amount of cash in your trading account available for trading operations. Balance is the result of making a deposit to your trading account. Your account balance is denominated in a single account currency.

Your account balance is used for providing margin to open and maintain positions. When positions are closed, profits and losses are realised by adding or subtracting funds from the balance, known as settlement. Other operations such as processing swaps are added or dedicated from the account balance.

If your account doesn’t have any open positions, then the balance in your account is the amount that you can withdraw. However, if you have positions open, then the amount of balance you can withdraw depends on the equity.
