.pnl

BEP, the break even price: the price at which liquidating a remaining position results in a zero PnL since the position was "opened" in the destination asset.

PPU: price-per-unit: the "average cost" (in cumulative mean terms) of the "entry" transactions which "make a position larger"; taking a profit relative to this price means that you will "make more profit then made prior" since the position was opened.
