Profit and loss (P&L)

Work out profit and loss in dollars and percent, and see where fees quietly eat into it. Free lesson 5 of 13 in Tickfloor's course, no card needed.

Realised vs unrealised

Unrealised P&L is your gain or loss on paper while you still hold the position. It can shrink or flip before you do anything.

Realised P&L is locked in only when you close the trade.

General information only. It doesn't consider your objectives, finances or needs.
