negative balance

[Loky]

How is it possible that the balance could go into deficit?

Glucosil with Vitamin B, is this a real account or a demo?

[Loky]

Demo, but I think that if the Expert Advisor that set this up were to run for real it would be the same

[Mihail Marchukajtes]

It's probably just a glitch. This situation is only possible when several positions are opened. One of them is much more negative than the balance, and the others are positive. In this case, when you close the minus, the balance will suddenly go into minus. But otherwise... it's just a glitch in the demo account...... it happens...

Как такое возможно, чтобы баланс мог уйти в минус?

If the positive amount on open positions exceeds the negative balance, as much as you like.

Balance in general is a harmful figure. It's self-defeating. Equity (funds) is the main measure of what you have at the moment.

Balance is what it once was.

Нарядли, скорее это всего лишь глюк. Такая ситуация возможна только при открытии нескольких позиций. Одн из которых намного больше баланса в минусе, а остальные в плюсе. Тогда при закрытии минуса баланс резко уйдёт в минус НО при этом автоматически закроються и положительные позиции. А так... это просто глюк демо счёта...... такое бывает...

No, it's not a glitch. It often happens with pyramiding. In general, there is a simple truth to remember. The amount of money that exists at the moment is Equity. Balance is about nothing.

The same thing happens on the tester, it's fine. After all, it counts funds according to the current Equity and you have it in order.

Yes, but it turns out that the balance is negative and if we do not close profitable positions, we may reach the moment when equity will be 0 and the balance will be negative.

Your "deposit" is equity.

Да, но получается что баланс ушел в минус, и если не закрывать прибыльные позиции то может наступить момент когда эквити станет 0 а баланс останется с минусом, получается слить можно больше чем депозит?

How do you calculate that you can lose more than your deposit? Equity is zero in your example...

Besides, the stop-out will be based on funds, not balance...
