# How is realised and unrealised profit calculated on Arrow?

> Your realised and unrealised profits are calculated differently based on your trading positions and whether you have closed them.

## Short answer

Your realised and unrealised profits are calculated differently based on your trading positions and whether you have closed them.

## Realised profit calculation

Your realised profit is calculated when you square off a trade. This calculation includes your closed F&O and intraday equity positions.

When you square off a CNC (Longterm) trade during the day, this trade does not affect your realised profit. However, the P&L from the intraday CNC trade that you have squared off is included in your available margin.

## Unrealised profit calculation

Your unrealised profit is determined using marked-to-market losses from your open F&O and intraday equity positions. These losses represent your unrealised profit.

The marked-to-market losses reduce your available balance, but you cannot use the benefit of marked-to-market profits in your available margin. When you have open positions, your unrealised profit is calculated based on the net result of all your positions.

## Example scenarios

Scenario 1: You have position A with a loss of ₹100 and position B with a profit of ₹50. Your unrealised profit will be -₹50. Arrow will subtract this negative value from your available margin.

Scenario 2: You have position A with a loss of ₹100 and position B with a profit of ₹150. Your unrealised profit will be ₹0. This happens because you cannot utilise the benefit of the profit to increase your available margin.

Scenario 3: Your realised and unrealised profit will show as negative values when you incur losses.
