# Bitget account Independent and unofficial. Not affiliated with or endorsed by any broker or platform named here. Educational only: nothing here is advice, and nothing here recommends a broker or a trade. This is the markdown version of https://openbrokerapi.com/brokers/bitget/messages/account, written from the same records as that page. Risk warning: CFDs and spread bets are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. You can lose money on these products, and each provider publishes its own loss figure under FCA rules. You should consider whether you understand how they work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money. Automated and API trading can amplify losses through bugs, connectivity failures and runaway orders. The unified trading account: equity, margin figures and the balance of each coin. Bitget says data is pushed on first subscribing, when orders are filled, when funds are settled and when a balance changes. - Message: `account` - Interface: Bitget WebSocket API - Group: Private channels - Status: verified.
