Realized Profit (or Loss)
profit or loss resulting from the sale or other disposal of a security. Capital gains taxes may be due when profits are realized: realized losses can be used to offset realized gains for tax purposes. Such profits and losses differ from a Paper Profit or Loss, which (except for option and futures contracts) has no tax consequences.
