Unrealized + realized profits?

[Ninja B]

I'm trying to add the prior trades results with the unrealized profit of an open position.

priorTradesCumProfit = Performance.RealtimeTrades.TradesPerformance.Curre ncy.CumProfit;

if (Performance.RealtimeTrades.TradesPerformance.Curr ency.CumProfit - priorTradesCumProfit >= 1000.

^^ I got this from Josh's sample code.

I searched and found GetProfitLoss.


So then I would have

if (Performance.RealtimeTrades.TradesPerformance.Curr ency.CumProfit - priorTradesCumProfit + Position.GetProfitLoss (Close[0], PerformanceUnit.Points >= 1000.

Something like that I think? Am I on the right track?

Hello,

To add Realized and Unrealized do something like this:


Performance.RealtimeTrades.TradesPerformance.Curre ncy.CumProfit + Position.GetProfitLoss(Close[0], PerformanceUnit.Currency)

These links will help:

Notice that you must add currency values to currency values, not point values to currency, etc. Also, this will included all Cum. profit not just the days P and L. To take out the prior trade Cum. profit you will need to treat priorTradesCumProfit in the manner it was treated in the sample: inside the if(Bars.FirstBarOfSession) block.

Hello gplatis,

Thanks for your post.

The links in the thread are out of date.

Here are the current NT7 helpguide links to the subjects of CumProfit and GetProfitLoss (unrealized PNL). Each of these links provides a specific example of utilization.

Can you clarify what you are asking for, "...how do you take out the priorTradesCumProfit ??" I'm not entirely sure what you mean. Do you mean to obtain the last trades PNL or the current PNL of the strategy?
