Equity: The value of an asset (or part of an asset) which is not indebted.

Equity trader: Category of registration both for market makers, agency traders, and proprietary traders in Nasdaq® and other OTC market equity or convertible debt securities and for supervisors of those activities. Does not include traders who primarily execute orders for a registered investment company. Equity traders must pass the test for limited representative-equity trader (Series 55) and, in addition, either Series 7 or Series 62.
