Unrealized P&L

Paper gain/loss on something you haven't sold yet. It's 'realized' only when you sell.

In detail

The gain or loss on stocks you hold, at the current price. Until you actually sell, it's just a number on paper; selling makes it a realized gain or loss. This app calculates only unrealized P&L (excluding taxes and realized gains).

How to see it in TICKR

Upload a brokerage CSV and the dashboard shows unrealized P&L per holding and in total.
