Unrealized Gain/Loss
Unrealized Gain or Loss in trading refers to the theoretical profit or loss on a position that has not yet been closed. Essentially, it represents the potential profit or loss you would realize if you were to close the position at the current market price.
When you open a trading position – whether it involves buying or selling stocks, bonds, forex, or other financial instruments – the market value of that position will fluctuate over time as market prices change.
If the market price moves in a favorable direction, you have an unrealized gain; in other words, you would make a profit if you were to close the position at the current market price. Conversely, if the market price moves in an unfavorable direction, you have an unrealized loss; that is, you would incur a loss if you were to close the position at the current market price.
The key aspect of unrealized gains or losses is that they are “paper” profits or losses. They exist only on paper and are not actual profits or losses until the position is closed, at which point they become “realized” gains or losses.
It is important to monitor your unrealized gains or losses, especially in active trading strategies, as they can impact your trading decisions. Good traders often have a predefined exit strategy to manage potential losses and know when to close a losing position.
