P&L Realized vs. Not Realized.
It's not yours until you close it.
In Binance Futures, there is a dangerous confusion: seeing P&L in green and believing it is real profit. As long as the position remains open, what you see on the screen is Unrealized P&L.
This figure is a theoretical calculation that fluctuates second by second according to the market price and can evaporate if the trend moves against you.
Fundamental difference:
Profit is only realized when you execute the closing of the position.
At that precise moment, the profit becomes Realized P&L, integrating into your final balance after deducting network fees and funding rates.
Many traders see large sums in their floating balance but end up losing their capital by confusing an expectation of profit with money effectively secured in their wallet.
A professional trader does not celebrate results until the position is liquidated.
In the derivatives ecosystem, what is not closed is not yours.
The market does not recognize your exit intentions; it only validates the definitive closures of your orders.
Question:
Have you let any profit slip away by not closing your position on time?
