How to Read Hyperliquid Wallet PnL on HyperStats
Learn the difference between total PnL, period PnL, realized PnL, and unrealized PnL on HyperStats wallet pages so you can read trader performance correctly.
HyperStats wallet PnL is easiest to read when you stop treating every number as the same thing. Total PnL, Period PnL, Realized PnL, and live open-position PnL each describe a different part of the trader's story.
Use Total PnL for the full tracked curve, Period PnL for what changed inside the selected window, Realized PnL for closed outcomes, and the positions table for risk that is still open right now.
In This Guide
Total PnL is the tracked cumulative curve across the full selected view. It preserves the wallet's prior realized history instead of pretending the trader started from zero just because you switched to a shorter chart window.
Period PnL isolates what changed inside the selected window. It is useful when you care about a trader's recent behavior, but it can look weak even for a very profitable wallet if the current period is flat or slightly negative.
Realized PnL comes from closed or reduced positions. Unrealized PnL is the current mark-to-market gain or loss still inside open positions. Realized numbers are usually the better measure of proven trading quality.

What Total PnL means
Total PnL is the tracked cumulative curve across the full selected view. It preserves the wallet's prior realized history instead of pretending the trader started from zero just because you switched to a shorter chart window.
That makes Total PnL the right view when you want to understand how much tracked performance the wallet has built up over time rather than what happened only inside the current slice.
What Period PnL means
Period PnL isolates what changed inside the selected window. It is useful when you care about a trader's recent behavior, but it can look weak even for a very profitable wallet if the current period is flat or slightly negative.
This is why a trader can look very strong on the 30D total curve but near flat on the 24H period view. Those are not conflicting readings; they answer different questions.
Realized versus unrealized
Realized PnL comes from closed or reduced positions. Unrealized PnL is the current mark-to-market gain or loss still inside open positions. Realized numbers are usually the better measure of proven trading quality.
If you want to understand what risk is still live, open the positions tab and compare current PnL, margin, entry, mark price, and liquidation context rather than reading the chart alone.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why can a wallet be strongly positive on Total PnL but flat or negative on Period PnL?
Because Total PnL includes the trader's earlier tracked history, while Period PnL shows only the selected time window. A strong trader can have a quiet or weak recent period without losing the earlier gains.
Which PnL view is best for judging trader quality?
Realized PnL is the best quality anchor because it reflects closed outcomes. Total PnL and Period PnL are useful context, while unrealized PnL is still live exposure and can move quickly.
