# Understanding Your Positions and Live PnL

> How PolyFundr tracks your open and closed positions, calculates live PnL from fresh price snapshots, and aggregates your portfolio across all events.

Every trade creates a position, and each fill is stored separately (no netting), so you may hold several positions on the same outcome at different entry prices. Each position has a live PnL that updates as fresh Polymarket prices arrive.

## Where to view positions

You can see your positions in two places:

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Event page">
    The event page at `/event/[slug]` shows a **Positions** panel on the right rail (desktop) or below the outcomes table (mobile). This panel displays only the positions for that specific event, with their current price and PnL.

    On desktop, a **Positions** tab in the bottom panel shows all positions across your entire portfolio, with the current event's positions highlighted.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Portfolio page">
    The portfolio page at `/portfolio` shows every position across all events. It is the central place to review your full trading history, monitor open risk, and close positions you no longer want to hold.
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## How PnL is calculated

For each open position, PnL updates every time the platform fetches a fresh price snapshot:

| Field             | Calculation                                                          |
| ----------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Current price** | Latest Polymarket price for the token you hold (YES or NO), in cents |
| **Current value** | Shares x current price (as a decimal)                                |
| **PnL**           | Current value - amount invested (USDC)                               |

For example: you bought YES at 40¢ with \$20, giving you 50 shares. If the YES price is now 60¢, your current value is \$30 and your PnL is +\$10.

<Note>On markets that charge a fee, a buy gives you slightly fewer shares (the fee is taken from your amount) and closing before resolution deducts a fee from your proceeds. Your current value and PnL are always shown **after fees**, and the fee you paid appears on the position. See [Fees & execution](/trading/fees).</Note>

<Note>PnL is unrealized (open) while the position is open. It becomes realized (closed) once you close the position or the market resolves and auto-closes your position.</Note>

## Portfolio summary

The portfolio page at `/portfolio` shows four summary metrics for your current active account:

| Metric             | What it shows                                               |
| ------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Realized PnL**   | Total PnL from all closed positions on your current account |
| **Open PnL**       | Combined unrealized PnL across all open positions           |
| **Open risk**      | Total USDC currently at risk across open positions          |
| **Open positions** | Count of positions that have not yet been closed            |

<Info>The portfolio splits positions into **Current account trades** and **Previous trades**. Current account trades are the positions tied to your active challenge or funded account. Previous trades are positions from accounts you've already closed or completed.</Info>

## Position table columns

The position table on the portfolio page shows:

| Column      | Description                                                             |
| ----------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Date**    | Date the trade was placed                                               |
| **Event**   | Event name, linking back to the event page                              |
| **Outcome** | The market outcome you traded                                           |
| **Side**    | YES or NO                                                               |
| **PnL**     | Current PnL (green for positive, red for negative)                      |
| **Amount**  | USDC invested                                                           |
| **Entry**   | Price at which the trade was filled, in cents                           |
| **Price**   | Current market price (or close price for closed positions), in cents    |
| **Action**  | **Close** button for open positions; **Closed** badge for resolved ones |

## Positions are per trading account

Each trading account, whether a challenge or a funded account, tracks its own positions independently. When a challenge passes and a funded account is created, positions opened during the challenge stay separate from positions you open in the funded phase. Challenge and funded trades never mix.

<Warning>Open trade PnL is excluded from payout eligibility on funded accounts. Only realized (closed) profit counts toward your available payout amount.</Warning>

## Auto-close on event resolution

When a Polymarket event resolves, open positions on that event are closed automatically. The close price is the resolution price of the outcome. Resolved positions appear in the position table with a **Closed** badge and their final PnL locked in. A resolution close is **free**, holding a winning position to resolution pays out in full with no fee.
