Hi Aliou,
The unrealized profit is calculated using the last close of the Bid (if we open a Long position) or the last close of the Ask (if we open a Short position). In the Plots of the attached backtest, we can see the official calculation of Unrealized Profits match exactly the manually calculated one for Bid/Ask closes.
Best,
