How Options P&L Is Calculated
Options P&L is the difference between what you received on exits and what you paid on entries, multiplied by the contract multiplier (usually 100), minus fees.
Realized vs unrealized
Realized P&L comes from closed contracts. Unrealized P&L is the paper result on contracts still open.
Example
Buy 2 contracts at $5.00 and 2 at $4.00 (average $4.50). Sell 2 at $6.00: realized P&L = (6.00 − 4.50) × 100 × 2 = $300, before fees.
Fees
Entry fees should be allocated proportionally to contracts closed so partial exits show accurate results.
