How Does a Trader Calculate Their Realized PnL?

Realized Profit and Loss (PnL) is the actual profit or loss a trader makes after a position has been fully closed. It is calculated by taking the difference between the position's entry price and its closing price, multiplied by the contract size, and then subtracting all associated trading and funding fees.

It is the final, settled gain or loss.
