trading account

The account that holds the money you use to trade.

The fuller meaning

The account holding a trader's capital with a broker. Risk rules are set as a share of it, such as 1% per trade, and its value over time is the equity curve; deep losses need much bigger gains to recover, since an account that loses 50% must double to get back.

trading account, also called account.
