Source: https://developers.bitgo.com/docs/trade-margin-view-position

## Overview

Once you fund your collateral account and place a trade order, you can view your net open positions. Your net open positions list assets and include the following information:

* **Net Open Position** -  The balance of long positions and short positions for the asset.
* **Net Open Position Value** - The current value of the NOP in USD.
* **Short Margin Position Notional Limit** - The face value limit in USD for short positions using this asset.
* **Long Margin Position Notional Limit** - The face value limit in USD for long positions using this asset.
* **Unrealized PnL** -  the sum of all your profits and losses for the asset in USD. This value may change with market movements.
