Balance vs. Equity. Is this a bug?

In the above picture, the balance is the same as equity which is not correct. Balance and equity are only equal when P/L is 0.

Hello Adrian Uncle,

What exact version and build number of MultiCharts are you running? (in MultiCharts go to Help tab-> About)
Is it a live or a demo Rithmic account?
Are you getting the same values in Rithmic Trader?

Hi,

Rithmic reports balance and does not have equity value. See below:

The issue has been replicated and forwarded to the development team.
The fix is targeted to the next version of MultiCharts 9.1 Release 5/ 10.0 Beta 2.
There is no ETA for these versions at the moment.
