Net P&L

Your total profit or loss after costs like commissions and fees.

Definition

Net P&L (net profit and loss) is the bottom-line number: how much you actually made or lost once trading costs are subtracted. It is "net" because it is after commissions, swaps, and fees — the real result, not the rosy one before costs.

Example

You made 300 in gross profit but paid 40 in commissions, so your Net P&L is 260.

Why it matters

Net P&L — after commission and swap — is the only honest measure of what you actually kept.

Frequently asked questions

Is net P&L before or after fees?

After — it subtracts commission, swap, and fees from gross.

Why is gross misleading?

Gross ignores costs that can quietly turn a “winning” system into a losing one.
