# Account

The Account block summarizes your Hyperliquid perps account, including balance, margin, exposure, unrealized PNL, and estimated risk. Hover underlined labels or values in the app to see the detailed explanation for each calculation. ## Account balance

Account balance tooltip explaining the displayed account value.

Account balance is the headline value of your perps account. Use it as the base reference when checking leverage, exposure, and available margin. ## Available margin

Available margin tooltip explaining free margin for new or existing exposure.

Available margin is the amount that can support new positions or absorb additional requirements. If available margin is low, new orders may fail or existing positions may become more sensitive to price moves. ## Ratio

Account ratio tooltip for understanding account usage and risk.

The ratio indicator helps you understand account usage at a glance. Treat it as a quick risk check before increasing size. ## Unrealized PNL Unrealized PNL is the sum of profit or loss across open positions. It changes as mark and market prices move. ## Long / Short exposure Long and short exposure show the total notional size of your open positions by direction. This helps you see whether your account is directionally balanced or concentrated. ## Cumulative risk Cumulative risk estimates the amount at liquidation risk while accounting for open limit orders, isolated positions, and stop losses. Example: if you have an isolated long position with a nearby liquidation zone and additional open orders that would increase exposure, cumulative risk helps surface that the account could become more exposed if those orders fill. ## Leverage Leverage is total exposure divided by account balance. Review it before submitting large orders from the [Trade form](/terminal-sections/trade-form.md), especially around [Calendar](/features/calendar.md) events or fast [News](/features/crypto-news-feed-for-trading.md).
