Contract trading | What’s the difference between unrealized and realized P&L?
The return rate (ROE) shown for a position is generally calculated by dividing unrealized P&L by the opening margin, so leverage can magnify it many times over.
In cross margin mode, unrealized profits are also added to the margin balance to help absorb fluctuations in other positions. When prices pull back, this buffer shrinks too.
A quick look: $BTC is quoted at 81322.01, down 0.3% over 24h.
Fees are also a cost, so the longer you hold a position, the more important it is to account for them.
This is just a market observation. Please make your own trading decisions.
