I've seen a few guys like Clay on TH-cam but clay is very very unique, brilliant , and brutally Honest; which is exactly what we need! Great Video , Thanks Clay
this worked . thank you. personally i think its cause you changed the terms into english lmao. the buy, in progress and then sell part was SO clear. thanks!!!
Yes, you can reach out to me at any time if you have questions. My only policy is that I ask for you to finish watching a video before asking because odds are, the answer is coming your way. If the answer does not come, then in that situation, by all means reach out to me.
Understood. It is definitely a great feeling to have someone watching your back. Thanks a lot! See you soon on the other side. Do you accept Bitcoin as a payment?
thanks, very nice is stated the concepts. I had looked other videos and read articles, but I have not understood. You stated them very easy and understandable. thanks man
What does it mean if you trade cryptocurrency and "sell" out in stablecoins vs sell out into fiat? Are both realized or are is it still unrealized if you still in stablecoin and havent sold stablecoin into fiat yet? Thanks and great explanation.
Isn't it always 'unrealized' since even currency varies in value? When I sell bitcoin to buy dollars, then later sell those dollars to buy bitcoin, I may have "lost" bitcoin if the price of the dollar fell during the trade. Right?
I have been with IB for about a year now. I have yet to see any gains (it has been a rough year). Having said that, I am wondering how might one withdraw eventual profits from my fund? I know withdrawals come from 'settled cash'. I mean, will my profits (when they hopefully come) automatically go to my 'settled cash' for me to withdraw?
Hey Clay , can you recommend a broker that allows you to short sell penny stocks, I have called 4 different broker's like Scottrade , TD , Etrade ect . All of them say you can only short sell stock that's worth $5 and more. Thx
I have a question? What does it means when you have these on summary short term gains or losses report on form 8949 that I received on robinhood 1099. Proceeds: $956,527.29 Cost basis: $973,999.17 wash sale loss disallowed: $19,591 Realized Gain or (loss): ($17,471.88) It means i have $17,471.88 loss? it's that correct? thanks
Here's my question and I may just be missing something but when does the risk come into play? What's stopping me from buying stocks and just waiting until I get the price I want even if that means holding the stock for longer than expected. I know there's a potential that the stock could just continue to fall but we all know the stock market is full of ups and downs so what's stopping people from waiting for that number they want?
Few days old to trading (bitcoin atm) my position is still going on long. But my realized gain shows a negative dollar amount its not alot and my unrealized amount is a larger gain.. why are the realized gains being shown as a negative? Are those fees? Please help
I'm so sorry for this dumb question, but realised gains is taking into account your comissions and fees? So if it says $10 on my daily p/l, that's after my costs to take the trade?
It helped me ALOT but I'm still nervous 🤣 New to investing and am currently doing a put option. I didnn't reach my breakeven yet but my Realized and Unrealized P&L is positive. If I close the option right now means I will gain profit? Remember...I didn't reach my breakeven yet (like 50cents left to go)
Thank you for this video. I just saw this in the Fidelity app and was thinking about taxes. So, if I keep everything unrealized, theoretically, I won't have to pay taxes on it until it's realized?
Are you using lightspeed by any chance? In lightspeed it says marked p/l and net marked p/l in addition to unrealized and realized. It even says unrealized marked net p/l. I just want to know the bottom line after all my commissions and ecn and sec and finra fees are calculated already out. Could you explain that? Called lightspeed, extremely unhelpful. I got two different people telling me two different things.
Clay have you done a video or do you have an article somewhere about heikin ashi charts? I lot of people seem to promote them and I wonder what your take on it is.
I have a question when I make an order whether it's short or longing under my realized PNL there are always fees do you mind explaining to me how to calculate those fees exactly?
@@claytrader bybit exchange gives us an option to adjust our leverage even after we get in the trade, we can make it 10x or 2 x or 5x or any other number. What would happen to un realized P&L. Please ignore Clay if I can't make my question clear :)
unrealized = the gain / loss of an OPEN position in "paper" realized = the gain / loss of a CLOSED position that is now booked to the account the important thing to understand is that an unrealized loss although not realized still represents actual RISK and a loss in VALUE and is the reason why margin calls exist. prudent risk management involves limiting unrealized losses based on the expected value (EV) of your investment program. enduring a high degree of heat (unrealized loss) in a position relative to the realized gain may be justifiable if the win rate yields a net positive EV over time but understand that continually increasing positions in the face of an unrealized loss is a type of martingale strategy and has been shown to yield an EV approaching 0.
Hello! Thanks for the explanation, very clear. I got a question though- I've been investing in indexes (Nasdaq and S&P) for a year now and my Realised P/L has never been positive. Why is that?? Does it need more time?
@@claytrader no but I think I understand the situation now! Can you confirm; Unrealised P/L minues Realised P/L would equal to the final total P/L when the position is closed ?
I sold off all my shares (they were all filled) but my P and L kept still bouncing up and down, and it also said I had 40,000 buying power when I only had 25000? I was paper trading a penny stock I think
Can anyone has any idea whether realized profit or realized loss includes brokerage charges, stt & other charges, or this is extra i mean is it apart from that which shows in hdfc securities realized loss
My P and L kept moving and moving and I didn’t know what to do because all of my shares were filled? What does this mean, I was paper trading and was freaking out
Clay what happens when the unrealized is further above my gains and the trading platform removes the unrealized… it looks as though mine is trying to hide there losses by taking it down from the web address the have statements on??? Fearing the worst here
@@claytrader I’ve been paying a 50% commission to use there software, AI trading algo, it’s gotten me 5% nett a month with little to no unrealized P/L but late December into January my unrealized loss is at 15.4% of my gains?

How the bonkers he could explain it in a so simplistic form when others just talk God knows what and leaves me so frustrated. Totally gotta agree here
Just got a job so I can start saving up for your courses! I have read a few books about stock exchange and fell in love. Can't wait to learn more!
That's awesome! Way to not make excuses but rather take matters into your own hands! Well done.

New to trading: I have been trying to figure out what exactly "Unrealised PNL" means. Loved the way you explained it, nailed it!
Thanks for feedback. Glad it could help!
I am gonna give a serious thought on enrolling for your trading classes. Do you also offer one-on-one Q&A to clear doubts?

In the proposed bill, they are talking about taxing Unrealized gains
Which is a joke...

Glad it helped!
@@claytraderso if I’m up £400 unrealized put realized says -£40 if I was to close the trade I would be in profit by £400 minus fees
So the purpose of moving from unrealized to realize is to lock in your gains? And do your gains go back into your trading account or where do they go?
into your trading account
Such a simple way to make understand people
Cheers
Isn't it always 'unrealized' since even currency varies in value? When I sell bitcoin to buy dollars, then later sell those dollars to buy bitcoin, I may have "lost" bitcoin if the price of the dollar fell during the trade. Right?

Talk to your broker.
Hey Clay nice video, ive been meaning to ask what program/broker you use to trade? Thanks!
Answer to that and more - claytrader.com/resources/
I'm so sorry for this dumb question, but realised gains is taking into account your comissions and fees? So if it says $10 on my daily p/l, that's after my costs to take the trade?
Depends on your broker. You'd have to ask them how it's calculated.
Thnks man for that simple explanation.

Correct, unless those stocks pay you a dividend, which "is" a realized gain and therefore you'd need to pay taxes on it.
@@claytrader pay taxes on only the dividend gains correct?

Hey sir, what if unrealised pnl is -100%. Is our futures balance is forgeited or not??.
I mean is it mean it will liquidate my all future balace.
It means it's worthless.
HI. I want to ask if i understand it.
Beacuse the Realized P&L is not moving.
For example :
Unrealized P&L is 1 $
I'm confused.
It ok o figurate it myself but thank for answering
@@JK00-000 glad you figured it out!
hi, for unrealized gains izit means profit not yet earn and stock haven't sold ?
Correct. There is no "official" profit until the stock is sold.
unrealized = the gain / loss of an OPEN position in "paper"
realized = the gain / loss of a CLOSED position that is now booked to the account
the important thing to understand is that an unrealized loss although not realized still represents actual RISK and a loss in VALUE and is the reason why margin calls exist.
prudent risk management involves limiting unrealized losses based on the expected value (EV) of your investment program.
enduring a high degree of heat (unrealized loss) in a position relative to the realized gain may be justifiable if the win rate yields a net positive EV over time but understand that continually increasing positions in the face of an unrealized loss is a type of martingale strategy and has been shown to yield an EV approaching 0.
Thanks for the comment.
Dope... great way to explain.

@@claytrader no but I think I understand the situation now! Can you confirm; Unrealised P/L minues Realised P/L would equal to the final total P/L when the position is closed ?
@@selingunar9781 no, Realised is when you SELL what you have.
@@claytrader yes yes I know, but the trading app is already showing me realised P/L. Isn't it an estimate P/L IF I sell the stocks?
@@selingunar9781 i have no idea then
Great explanatin but I'm still confused. My acc shows: eur/usd Qnt 0, Trade Price 0, Unrealized P/L $11. How can I have $11 if I sold it?

Are you on Interactive Brokers? That happens for whatever reason.
