🔹 What is PnL?
PnL = Profit and Loss
It shows how much money you have gained or lost from a trade or over a period.
---
🔹 Two types:
1. Realized PnL
Profit/loss from closed trades.
Example: If you bought $BTC at $30,000 and sold it at $35,000, your realized PnL is +$5,000.
2. Unrealized PnL (Floating PnL)
Profit/loss from open trades.
It changes with market price.
Example: You bought $BTC at $30,000, it’s now $33,000, but you haven’t sold yet — your unrealized PnL is +$3,000.
