# Accounts

The account tile provides an at-a-glance summary of all key account details, including identification, current financial metrics, and status indicators. Each labeled element corresponds to a specific piece of information about the account, as described below. This overview helps users monitor account performance and ensure the account is properly connected for copy trading. By reviewing these details, you can quickly assess the account’s monthly performance, margin status, and any configured copy trading settings or limits.

## Account Fields

* **Account Name**: A user-defined name for the trading account (e.g., “Demo Account”). This serves as a friendly label to easily identify the account within MetaCopier.
* **Account ID**: The system-generated unique identifier for the account (e.g., `1530b73e-4dfc-425c-9284-778a6180afef`). It is used internally (and in the API) to reference the account unambiguously.
* **Labels, JSON, and Settings**: In the top-right corner, you can assign labels, view the raw JSON configuration, and access the [account functions](/features/basic-features/accounts.md).
* **Server**: The trading platform and server the account is connected to, for example **MT4 | PUPrime-Demo**. This indicates both the platform type (MT4/MT5, cTrader, etc.) and the specific broker server or environment where the account resides.
* **Account Number**: The actual broker account number or login ID (e.g., **100480713**). This is the number you use to log into the trading platform, identifying the account on the broker’s side.
* **Region**: The geographical server region used for the account’s connection (e.g., **New York**). Typically, this is chosen for optimal latency, meaning the account is hosted on a server in that region to reduce delay in trade copying. Currently available are: **New York, London, Berlin and Singapore**.
* **Profit This Month**: The net profit or loss realized by the account in the current month to date (e.g., **0 USD** if no profit has been made yet this month). This value helps track the account’s performance over the month. When you hover over the "Profit this month" label, the daily and weekly profit metrics appear, providing a quick view of short-term performance.
* **Used Margin**: The amount of margin currently tied up in open positions (e.g., **0** if no trades are open). It shows how much of the account’s funds are being used to maintain existing trades.
* **Free Margin**: The remaining margin available for opening new trades (e.g., **2000.07**, typically in the account’s base currency). Free Margin is essentially Equity minus Used Margin, indicating how much resource is left to take on new positions.
* **Leverage**: The account’s leverage ratio (e.g., **1:500**). This denotes how much the account’s trading capacity is multiplied relative to its balance – a higher ratio means you can trade larger positions for a given balance, but with higher risk.
* **Status**: The current status of the account’s connection and activity. For example, it may display **Active** (the account is enabled for copying) and **Connected** with a latency indicator (e.g., `1 ms`), meaning the account is online and communicating with minimal delay.
* **Balance**: The current account balance, in the account’s base currency (e.g., **2000.07 USD**). This is the cash amount in the account excluding any unrealized profits or losses from open trades.
* **Equity**: The current account equity, in the base currency (e.g., **2000.07 USD**). Equity is the balance plus or minus any unrealized profit or loss on open positions (it equals the balance if there are no open trades).
* **Copiers**: The number of copier accounts that this account itself is following, meaning it is acting as the “slave” in a copy trading setup. A value here (e.g., **1**) shows how many “master” accounts this account is currently copying trades from.
* **Risk Limits**: The count of active risk management rules applied to this account. For instance, a **0** here means no risk limits are set.
* **Features**: The number of optional copy-trading features or settings enabled on this account. A value (e.g., **0**) indicates how many advanced features (such as trailing stop, break-even, or other Pro features) are active for this account. Each enabled feature contributes to this count, helping you see at a glance if any special trade-handling functionalities are in use.

{% hint style="info" %}
Certain features can be assigned directly to the trading account, while others are applied to the copier itself. Account-level features typically affect overall risk management and trade handling for that account, whereas copier-level features control how trades are copied and managed for each linked copier, offering more granular customization.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
There are also alternative visualization options, such as List and Compact views, which display the same core information in a different layout. All essential details, like account status, key metrics, and settings, remain consistent across these different views.

## Account Functions

Every account has the following functions (click the gear icon to open the menu):

* **Stop:** Stops and disconnects the account. Open positions remain untouched, but no new trades will be copied until the account is started again. **Note:** Stopped accounts are still billed. To avoid charges, delete the account.
* **Logs:** Opens the log viewer, where you can find action events, trade-copy operations, risk-limit triggers, warnings, and errors for this account. Useful for troubleshooting.
* **Audit logs:** Records all configuration changes and user actions for this account, including timestamp, event type, API endpoint, status, API key, and source IP. Useful for tracking activity, verifying actions, and ensuring compliance.
* **History:** Displays a chronological list of all completed trades executed through this account, including time, symbol, volume, P/L, and ticket ID. Helps you quickly review performance. The list updates every few minutes.
* **Analytics:** Displays detailed charts and statistics of your account, including equity, profit and loss, drawdowns, and trade distribution. Helps you quickly evaluate performance and optimize your trading decisions.
* **Data collector:** If the data collector feature is enabled, you will see details about equity, balance, and floating P/L.
* **Symbols:** Shows the symbols currently active on the broker. Useful for symbol mapping.
* **Terminal:** Launches the embedded web terminal so you can place or adjust trades manually without leaving MetaCopier.
* **Settings:** Opens the account configuration, allowing you to rename the account or update your password if needed.
* **Troubleshooting:** AI-based assistant that analyzes common issues and provides solutions in near real time.
* **Close:** Immediately closes all open positions.
* **Slave copiers:** Manage all copiers at once.
* **Delete:** Permanently removes the selected account and stops billing.
