What are realized gain and unrealized gain in the Pluang portfolio?

A realized gain is profit you have already locked in — the positive difference between your average buy price and the price you actually sold at. An unrealized gain is profit still on paper: the positive difference between your average buy price and the current market price, calculated using the mid price, while you continue to hold the asset. Say you bought one WMT share at an average of US$90. If you sell it at US$100, you have a realized gain of US$10. If the market price is US$100 but you have not sold, you have an unrealized gain of US$10 — an estimate of what you would receive if you sold right now, which can still move with the market. Realized figures are settled; unrealized figures are not.

Realized gain — worked example

You buy 1 WMT share at an average price of US$90 and sell it at US$100.

`Realized gain = US$100 − US$90 = US$10`

Once the sale completes, that US$10 is yours and no longer changes.

Unrealized gain — worked example

You buy 1 WMT share at US$90. The market price is now US$100, but you have not sold.

`Unrealized gain = US$100 − US$90 = US$10`

That US$10 is an estimate of what you would gain if you sold immediately. Because you still hold the share, it is not certain and will move with market conditions.

• Mid price is used for unrealised figures. Unrealised gains are calculated against the mid price — the midpoint between bid and ask — rather than an executable transaction price.
• Realised covers more than price movement. Alongside the difference between buy and sell prices, realised figures also take in dividends and rewards.
• Crypto Futures counts toward realised. As of 31 August 2026, closed Crypto Futures positions feed into your main realised figure rather than appearing only in the separate Futures tab.

Q: Why is my unrealized gain only an estimate?
Because it is calculated against the mid price — the midpoint between the bid and the ask — rather than a price you could definitely transact at. The actual result depends on the price your order fills at when you sell, which is affected by spread, order book depth and volatility. Until the sale completes, the figure remains a projection that moves with the market.

Q: Does an unrealized gain become a realized gain automatically?
No. It converts only when you actually close the position by selling. Until then it stays unrealised and continues to move with market prices, which means it can grow, shrink, or turn into a loss. Nothing about holding the asset for longer locks the figure in; only the sale does that.

Q: Are dividends and rewards part of realized or unrealized gain?
They form part of your realised figures. Dividends you receive and rewards credited to your account are settled income rather than paper value, so they count toward realised rather than unrealised. This is why your realised total can move in a period when you have not sold any asset at a profit.

Q: Do Crypto Futures results appear in these figures?
Yes, on the realised side. As of 31 August 2026 your closed Crypto Futures positions count toward the main realised figure rather than sitting only in the separate Futures tab. The trades themselves are unchanged — the same results you could already see in that tab are now counted toward one combined total for the account.
