F\u00fcr einen Trader, der eine offene Position h\u00e4lt, wird der Marktwert berechnet, indem der aktuelle Preis des Instruments mit der Positionsgr\u00f6\u00dfe multipliziert wird. Wenn sich die Marktpreise bewegen, bewegt sich der Marktwert der Position mit ihnen, weshalb offene Positionen den ganzen Handelstag \u00fcber als marktgerecht bewertet beschrieben werden.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">F\u00fcr Prop-Firm-Trader bestimmt der Marktwert das Echtzeit-Eigenkapital eines finanzierten Kontos. Wenn ein Trader offene Positionen hat, ist das Kontoeigenkapital der Kassenbestand plus der Marktwert dieser Positionen, abz\u00fcglich etwaiger ausstehender Geb\u00fchren oder gehaltener Margin. Firmen, die den Drawdown gegen das Eigenkapital und nicht nur gegen den Saldo berechnen, verwenden den Marktwert kontinuierlich, was bedeutet, dass eine offene Position, die sich gegen den Trader entwickelt, das Konto vor dem Schlie\u00dfen der Position in Richtung einer Drawdown-Verletzung treiben kann. Firmen, die den Drawdown nur gegen den Saldo berechnen, wenden die \u00c4nderung erst an, wenn die Positionen geschlossen sind.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"glossary-category":[131],"class_list":["post-6408","glossary","type-glossary","status-publish","hentry","glossary-category-trader-glossary"],"acf":{"target_keyword":"market value","glossary_post_image":"","key_takeaway":"Key Takeaway","key_takeaway_description":"Market value is the current worth of a position based on the prevailing market price, calculated as current price multiplied by position size.

Market value is what the position is currently worth at the prevailing price. The difference between the two is the unrealized profit or loss on the position. A trader who buys at $100 and sees the price move to $110 has a market value 10% higher than the cost basis.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<b>Does market value affect my prop firm drawdown?<\/b>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It depends on how the firm calculates drawdown. Firms that measure drawdown against equity include the market value of open positions continuously, so unrealized losses move the account toward the drawdown limit in real time. Firms that measure drawdown against balance only apply the change once positions are closed.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<b>How is market value calculated for a leveraged position?<\/b>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Market value is calculated on the full position size, not just the margin used to open it. On a $100,000 position opened with $1,000 of margin at 1:100 leverage, the market value is the current price of the instrument multiplied by the full $100,000 notional exposure.<\/span>"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/propaccount.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossary\/6408","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/propaccount.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossary"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/propaccount.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/glossary"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/propaccount.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6408"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"glossary-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/propaccount.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossary-category?post=6408"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
