Position, P&L, and Exposure

Status Draft briefPart Risk and Operations

Position and P&L are derived from fills, fees, corrections, marks, currencies, and accounting conventions. Exposure asks what can change value before positions are closed or hedged.

Central questions

  • Which events are authoritative and idempotent?
  • How are realized, unrealized, gross, net, and factor exposures distinguished?
  • Which price and exchange rate mark each position?

Planned model

Apply fills, fees, busts, price moves, and FX moves to a ledger while displaying position, cash, realized P&L, unrealized P&L, and exposure.
