What is Realized Profit and Loss on the Pluang portfolio?

Realized Profit and Loss is the total profit or loss you have actually locked in from every asset sale that has completed in your Pluang account. It is a running accumulation across everything you have ever sold, and as of 31 August 2026 it also includes your Crypto Futures trading history, which was previously visible only in the separate Futures tab. Unlike unrealised profit and loss, which moves with the market while you still hold something, realised figures are settled and stop changing once the position is closed. The figure covers more than price movement alone: increases and decreases in value, dividends, and rewards all feed into it. One thing it does not account for is the taxes and transaction fees you paid along the way — those sit outside this number.


  • What counts toward it. Every completed sale in your account, accumulated over the lifetime of the account rather than reset periodically.
  • What it includes beyond price movement. Gains and losses from value changes, plus dividends received and rewards credited to you.
  • Crypto Futures is included. As of 31 August 2026, results from your closed Crypto Futures positions count toward this same combined figure instead of appearing only in the Futures tab.
  • It stops moving once realised. Because it covers closed positions, market movement no longer affects it — that is the key difference from unrealised profit and loss.
  • Taxes and fees are not deducted from it. The Realized Profit and Loss figure is shown before the taxes and transaction fees you paid. By contrast, your current Portfolio Value is shown net of taxes and fees, while your Invested Amount excludes them.

Q: Does Realized Profit and Loss include taxes and transaction fees?
No. The figure does not deduct the taxes and transaction fees you paid when trading, so it reflects the gross result of your closed positions. Your current Portfolio Value is treated differently — it is shown after taxes and fees are taken into account — while your Invested Amount excludes them. If you are reconciling the two figures by hand, that difference in treatment is usually what accounts for the gap.

Q: What is the difference between realised and unrealised profit and loss?
Realised covers positions you have already closed, so the result is settled and no longer moves. Unrealised covers positions you still hold, so it changes continuously with market prices and is only an estimate of what you would get if you sold right now. One is a historical record of completed trading; the other is a live snapshot of open positions.

Q: Do dividends and rewards count toward Realized Profit and Loss?
Yes. The figure is not limited to the difference between your buy and sell prices — dividends you receive and rewards credited to you also feed into it. This means your realised total can grow even in a period where you did not sell anything at a gain, because income of that kind is counted alongside the results of your closed positions.

Q: Why does my Realized Profit and Loss include Crypto Futures now?
As of 31 August 2026, closed Crypto Futures positions count toward the main Realized Profit and Loss figure rather than being tracked only in the separate Futures tab. Nothing about those trades changed — the same results you could already see are now counted toward one combined total, so the figure reflects your full closed-position history across the account.
