    I am keeping track of my realized and unrealized gains and losses for trading a portfolio.

    I keep an excel to track the following:

    So I was wondering if there is an accounting term for adding up these values. I am referring to the item I call "Total":

    Realized Gain/Loss: $1,000
    Unrealized Gain/Loss: -400
    ---------------------------------------------------------------
    Total (what is the accounting term for this) $600

    Thank you,
