Profit and Loss

Financial result of trading activity combining realized outcomes and mark to market changes on open positions.

P&L (Profit and Loss) measures financial gain or loss over a trading period or specific transaction.

In oil trading, P&L tracks results from physical trades, derivatives, and portfolio adjustments. Realized P&L accounts for closed positions; unrealized P&L reflects open exposure.

Monitoring P&L helps manage risk, evaluate strategy performance, and meet regulatory reporting requirements.

Effective P&L analysis informs decision-making and capital allocation.
