PnL and Account Value - Astaria Docs

Astaria tracks both realized and unrealized profit and loss for every account.

Position Value

For a position of size Q at current Mark Price M:

current_notional = |Q| × M

For a long position:

unrealized_pnl = position_size × (mark_price - entry_price)

For a short position:

unrealized_pnl = position_size × (entry_price - mark_price)
