For current profit/loss of a trading security, please use:
// Current profit [$] var profitDollarValue = Portfolio[symbol].UnrealizedProfit; // Current profit [%] var profitPercentage = Portfolio[symbol].UnrealizedProfitPercent;Please checkout the documentation under the Securities and Portfolio section for more information.

decimal uPnl = Portfolio[OptionSymbol].UnrealizedProfitPercent

Hi Ariel, UnrealizedProfit only includes open trades (e.g you Buy 1 share of SPY, price moves and your *unrealized* profit/loss moves with it. After you liquidate everything (i.e. close all open positions), Unrealized profit goes to zero.

Is there an easy way to liquidate an open position when the UnrealizedProfit is ≥ x? (Using python)
Fred Painchaud
Hi Sean,
Yes. Something like this, depending where exactly you are trying to code the logic:

Thanks Fred! I will give it a run and see how this works. Thank you!

Can we just liquidate everything at the end of the algorithm? This way anything remaining unrealized will be sold … right??? Is there something I don't understand about doing that?
Fred Painchaud
Hi Greg,
You can do it for sure. But my understanding of Sean's question was that he wanted to liquidate not at the end of the backtest but when the unrealized profit was above a certain threshold. Basically, a take profit.
When live trading, liquidating “at the end” is not something recommended 😊.

Can you do something like this as well?
if self.Portfolio[EntirePortfolio].UnrealizedProfit >= x:
self.Liquidate(EntirePortfolio)
What would the syntax be

It may be like in "Stocks-Bond Portfolio with Take Profit".
