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

​
Unrealized PnL

For a long position: 
unrealized_pnl = position_size × (mark_price - entry_price)
For a short position: 
unrealized_pnl = position_size × (entry_price - mark_price)

​
Realized PnL

Realized PnL is created when a position is partially or fully closed. It is settled into the account’s collateral balance.

​
Account Value

Account Value reflects the total value of the account after incorporating open risk: 
account_value = collateral_balance + realized_pnl + unrealized_pnl + funding_payments - trading_fees

​
Account Equity

Account Equity is the value used to determine whether an account satisfies margin requirements. 
account_equity = account_value
Account Equity is used in:
  • Initial margin checks when opening positions
  • Maintenance margin checks for existing positions
  • Liquidation eligibility
  • Withdrawal limits
