For example, say you buy 100 shares of a company at Rs 50. In a week, the price of the stock moves to Rs 60. You are still holding the shares. Your unrealized profit would be (Rs 60 - Rs 50) X 100 = Rs 1,000.
Now next week, you sell the shares at Rs 63. Whatever money you make or lose after the trade is complete is your realized profit or loss. In this case, when you sell shares at Rs 63, your realized profit would be (Rs 63 - Rs 50) X 100 = Rs 1,300.

ICICI Direct OptionPLUS is an intraday product for Options Trading wherein you can place 2 orders simultaneously.
The first will be a market/Limit order for buying Options contract and the second order is placed to limit the loss on the position by specifying the Stop Loss Trigger Price (SLTP) and a Limit Price. The system automatically places the contract order at the limit price on reaching the SLTP price.
Example:
You buy NIFTY PUT trading at Rs 20 with a strike price of Rs 7000 in the expectation that the price will rise. However, in case the price falls, you would like to limit your losses. To cover your losses, you place a limit sell order specifying a Stop loss trigger price of Rs 15 and a limit price of Rs 10. Once the contract price touches or crosses Rs 15, the order gets converted into a limit sell order at Rs 10.
